Ok my team
1 Cody Walker - Scrummages well, good in general play; solid. Let's hope he lasts for at least 35 mins. and then come on for more later.
2 Jordan Uelese - has proven to be the best #2. Nice line-out throws good general play. Whole game from him.
3 Shambeckler Vui - very solid, plays with passion, want him there until at least the 60th min. He is the sole of our scrum.
4 Ryan McCauley - more confidence this year, need him in the line-out, but needs to impose himself. Did miss him in the Samoa game.
5 Harry Hocking - Mr Line-out! His athletic skill is second to none, now for a little more aggression and start imposing himself and we may have a Rod McCall on our hands.
6 Angus Scott-Young - He just wants to win (ffs)! More definition at the break down will give him that.
7 Liam Wright - Missed in the last game, I think his break down skill to at the higher end from what I have seen; then there is always the option at the line-out, a must.
8 Reece Hewat (c) - This is the best rugby I have seen Reece play (and I've watched him since he was 13). He is engaging at the break-down (finally) and wants to be with his piggy's; go Reece.
9. Harry Nucifora - Think he is the calmest 9; kicking just a little more confident than Goddard, but we will need both to win.
10 Hamish Stewart (vc) - His kicking in general play (for field position) will invaluable in this game. Has the backs structured, but needs to take on the line more. He's as tough as the farmers fence posts, just needs to pull it all together for this one.
11 Simon Kennewell - Unlucky in the first match. Felt more secure with him on the field. We will need him to control their outside backs and possibly produce counterattacks with with other 7's partners in crime.
12 Sione Tuipulotu - Didn't know much about this young fella, but as I've watched, love him. Very capable second 5/8, can kick, just has energy at the ball. Need to see that again!
13 Izaia Perese - Had the dropsies against Wales, but proved to be a match winner when given the chance. Nagging knee (not ankle) injury may have something to do with it; required for at least 65 mins to give 100% and hopefully hold the ball and make those breaks.
14 Henry Hutchison - Really good finisher, would like more involvement around the park as I think he has the skill and maturity to give that.
15 Liam McNamara - Was unsure of him at first, but he just loves to play and particularly with his 7's buddy's. Security of the ball and clear exists are a must; then you can have fun!
16 Efitusi Maafu - Has been out of sorts on tour and pushed the ball a little, but required to pick up if given the chance. Just stay calm.
17 Sama Malolo - Hasn't got on the park yet, but will have to be back-up for the prop/hooker position.
18 Harry Johnson-Holmes - The red headed Novocastrian juggernaut. Want him on in about the 32nd minute to give the Poms a comeuppance. Loves his hands on the ball, good around the park, can sniff a ball like a wild boar sniffs a truffle on a fresh Tuscan night.
19 Lachlan Swinton - Want him as an impact player just like HJ-H. Good at the line-out and general play; can play back-row and second row so his versatility makes him a must.
20 Rob Valetini - Hard running back rower, good at the break-down and in general play. Looks a little underdone (injury?) but necessary for this one.
21 Harrison Goddard - Offers something different to Nucifora and hence is very necessary. Can kick and has got that good snipping sense around set pieces. Will be required for at least 25-30 mins.
22 Dylan Riley - Has shown glimpses of form when given an open field. Has all the attributes, just needs to clear his head and focus; clearly the best reserve outside back.
23 Semisi Tupou - This young fella has done a great job; still a little "shy" but can't fault his defense and attacking ability. Will get a run at some stage.
