Difficult to get excited for this one. If we stay within 10 I'd be very happy.

“We were disappointed in how the last game transpired against South Africa, as we left many opportunities out there,” backs and skills coach Will Parkin said.

“With that said, our leadership group have rallied to refocus our players’ efforts over the last three days. The squad’s ownership to recognise there are big improvements to be made has been vital, as well as impressive.

“The squad have raised our performance levels in training and put an emphasis on refining our efficiency in the opposing 22 against what will be another strong challenge in Australia.”

I think were seeing what I somewhat suggested in a much ealrier post about our under age sides producing a couple a genuine stars then we have what will hopefully develop into decent pros. Hard to judge to front row as they have a heap of physical development still required.

My top three right now would be

Doyle
Martens
Watters
