Rudi Wulf was not considered for the trip because of his broken wrist. Ali Williams, Jerome Kaino and Joe Rokocoko are also out of the travelling party which left Auckland this morning. Williams has an ongoing back problem. Kaino and Rokocoko are both on paternity leave as their partners are expecting their first children.
Josh Blackie will join the squad in Perth this week as his Japanese club has been eliminated from the playoffs.
