I feel that it will be a stronger scrummaging unit with Doran-Jones coming in and Corbisiero moving to his more familiar position of LH. Alll in all that looks like an impressive front five (for an A side) and aside from the hooker I wouldn't mind it being the first team. Simpson should be a good addition to the team but I feel sorry for Mike Brown who played well in the last game. This team makes me quite confident that it can get a result against anyone at this level.
