Does it matter what number JDB has been given? Surely if he's in the 19 he has as much chance as anyone on the bench at playing. Or have I got that wrong?

From a technical point of view, as far as we know, he could be starting at fullback. Up until 24 hours prior to the game, any of the 22 named players can be in the final 19. In fact, any of them can start. The same applies to the updated list of 20 players that is released 24 hours prior to kick off. Finally, 1 hour before the game, the starting side will be finalised, as will the 6 man bench. If JDB is on the 6 man bench, we won't know he is not playing until Parra use their 4th sub and he hasn't been used. (Even then, he could be activated as 18th man given certain HIA events.)

In reality, he is unlikely to play.
