Yelesin - ??? but could improve rapidly given he's new to North America. Some time in the video room and we could have a gem.
I'm just not concerned about defensive depth. We rolled a Kylington - Andersson 3rd pair last year and barely even lost when those two were in the lineup (I think we went something like 27-5 but don't quote me).
We just have so many options without even thinking about MacDonald. An injury on the left while Valimaki is out? Brodie can suck it up and play the left side for a while with Stone. Or Kylington could prove himself up the lineup - he has the skill to really benefit from a chance with a steady partner like Hamonic as he's a real gunner from the point.
