In the upcoming World Cup game, prop Henry Thomas is set to make his tournament debut as a substitute player. This is an exciting opportunity for him to showcase his skills on the international stage.
On a positive note, Tate McDermott, the team’s first-choice scrum-half, is back in action after recuperating from a concussion. This is excellent news for the team, as they will benefit from his skills and experience. McDermott will take over the scrum-half position from Nic White, who has been performing in that role until now.
