Rob Henderson who came on as second half replacement for Jason Holland in that game retains his place in the centre with Holland taking his place on the bench. Commenting on the change Gaffney said.

"Obviously it was a very close call. They are two exceptional talents. Last time around Jason got the nod and this time it goes Rob's way. That's the nature of things, horses for copurses really."
