Blair has played far more 5/8 in his life than centre, he'll be okay. Henry only just back from injury I believe and short of a gallop and Hazard is still out injured.

The one I can't fathom is James. The only thing I can think of is that he still lacks confidence in his shoulder.

Blair close to the only decision Cartwright could make in the circumstances. Let's hope he grabs it with both hands.
