BC Name Lineup for Match #2 vs Ontario Blues
Coach Curry Hitchborn has made a few changes for Game #2. Neil Trainor starts at hooker with Jesse Mackail picking up an injury in Game #1, Trainor played most of Game #1 and played well. The props who did so well in the first game get the start again, Emerson Prior at loosehead and Wes Black at tighthead. Frank Carson came off early in Game #1 and isn’t in the roster for this match, Reegan O’Gorman is switched from blindside flanker to second row and Arthur Greene from Capilano gets the start at blindside. Owain Ruttan who played #8 for Tide starts at openside and man of the match from Game #1, Cody Nhanala, starts at #8.
It’s the same halfback combination of Billy Wickham and Lockie Kratz, Takoda McMullin moves to fullback, Liam James to wing and Hamish Janes of the Ravens starts at outside centre. D’Shawn Bowen isn’t in the roster for this match, Jack Shaw remains at wing and Talon McMullin at inside centre. Again it’s a long bench with 26 players named.
