Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3449109, member: 9881"] Australia: 1. Tedesco (C) 2. Holmes 3. Mitchell 4. Burton 5. Addo-Carr 6. Munster 7. Cleary 8. Fa’asuamaleaui 9. Hunt 10. Carrigan 11. Martin 12. Murray 13. Yeo 14. Grant 15. Cotter 16. Trbojevic 17. Crichton Samoa: 1. Suaalii 2. To’o 3. Crichton 4. Tago 5. May 6. Luai 7. Milford 8. Papalii 9. Clark 10. Papalii 11. Tuilagi 12. Su’A 13. Faitala-Mariner 14. Brown (Fa’amanua) 15. Leniu 16. Aloiai 17. Molo Note: Manu Tuilagi probably forces his way in if he elects Samoa, Tabuai-Fidow I can’t really find a spot for having benched all year. Tonga: 1. Lolehea 2. Katoa 3. Staggs 4. Talakai 5. Tupou 6. Amone 7. Katoa (Isaiya) 8. Fonua-Blake 9. Havili 10. Pangai Junior 11. Kaufusi 12. Kolomatangi 13. Taumalolo 14. Luke 15. Fifita (David) 16. Fotuiaka 17. Paseka Note: Forward rotation could heavily differ as they are stacked in that department. New Zealand: 1. Manu 2. Mulitalo 3. Niukore 4. Hiku 5. Rapana 6. Brown 7. Hughes 8. Bromwich 9. Smith 10. Fisher-Harris 11. Papali 12. Bromwich 13. Tapine 14. Foran 15. Leota 16. Asofa-Solomona 17. Nikora notes: same side as Tongan rep round game. Sebastian Kris finished the season well and might force his way into the centres, likely at the expense of Niukore who would move to the bench. Fiji: 1. Turuva 2. Sivo 3. Valemi 4. Blake 5. Ravalwa 6. Naiqama 7. Wakeham 8. Campbell-Gillard 9. Koroisau 10. D. Saifiti 11. Kikau 12. T. Sims 13. Milne 14. Lovodua 15. J. Saifiti 16. Kamikamica 17. K. Sims Note: Lack of depth means this is basically what will happen without injury or pulling out. Korbin just retired but we might see him pull on the boots for the last time for Fiji alongside his brother. PNG: 1. Johnston 2. Coates 3. Olam 4. Macdonald 5. Derby 6. Laybutt 7. Lam 8. Kapinias 9. Ipape 10. Albert 11. Putt 12. Russell 13. Martin 14. Biondi-Odo 15. Yei 16. Isaac 17. Albert Note: entirely someone else’s team. Didn’t know enough about PNG but some exciting names like Edwin Ipape and Xavier Coates as inclusions since the rep round. England: 1. Tomkins 2. Makinson 3. Farnworth 4. Percival 5. Hall 6. Lomax 7. Williams 8. Walmsley 9. Mcllorum 10. Thompson 11. Whitehead 12. Bateman 13. Radley 14. Welsby 15. Burgess 16. Sutton 17. Farrell Note: Someone else’s team yet again but I know the players well enough that it is 90% probable. Close World Cup this year. I think England will start to drop below some of the pacific nations. Media can toot Samoa and lesser so Tonga’s horns all they like but the reality is their spines aren’t good enough to win it. NZ have a good crack and Australia still favourites but I think will likely be not as hungry as some of the other nations are as they seem to have ended up being the last few times they have run out. Pretty new team but and a lot of debutants so good chance to change the culture of the Australian team. [/QUOTE]
