My team for Eden Park (Considering injuries):
1. Sio
2. Porecki
3. AAA
4. Neville
5. Phillip
6. Wilson
7. Samu
8. Valetini
9. White (C)
10. Foley
11. Koro
12. Foketi
13. Ikitau (Hopefully fit)
14. Vunivalu
15. Kellaway
16. FF (Folau Fainga'a) (Folau Fainga'a)
17. Bell
18. Thor (Pone if out)
19. Arnold (Frost if gone)
20. Holloway
21. McDermott
22. Paisami
23. Hodge
That would be my starting XV also. Is Neville fit? On the bench, I think McReight in place of Holloway (hard choice though), and Lolesio instead of Paisami. I know having Noah there will put pressure on the mid field if there are injuries, but imo he must either start or come off the bench every game he's fit between now and the RWC. In any case, he can play 12 so not all coverage would be lost.
I am happy for Foley to start again, but the Coaches need to design some tactics to cover his deficiencies. Kicking for line for example - Hodge when he's there, but someone with a longer boot like Ikitau must be practicing at training to take on this duty in game. In defence, Foley has to move up a bit quicker in the line so that with cover from his backrow there won't be the gaps he left there in the first Bledisloe this year. Even if he doesn't make every tackle he has to disrupt the running lines of Mo'aunga, the blind side winger and opposition backrowers so that our backrowers can fill the holes.
Arnold has returned to Japan. Frost it is, and that will be a positive for the Wallabies.
