[MSG1716]

Hambly really likes 6 rotation pins so we have the extra offensive options from the back row.  This year though, with the addition of Cawa who is likely to be our libero next year, and Beaven and Pringle, we have some solid DS options.  I'd like to see us play at least one of them regularly. 

Not sure whether Blyashov would have started were she healthy.  

I was excited to see middles get as many attempts as Rubin.  Andrew looked good and Francis is good.  Last year I felt we didn't get the middles involved enough to force our opponent's MB from doubling on the outside.  Not sure how much was due to our service return game, but liked seeing our middles pound the ball.
