That's only 33 aren't they taking 35?

I'd think about another 1/2back for cover, if one of the two listed get hurt you'll fly one out anyway.Probably Valo on recent form, but Sheehan might be an option......or a young guy to develop. I think Waugh minght have trouble getting in with Smith, Brown, Pocock, Elsom, Hodgeson, Palu, Mumm That's a lot of backrowers fighting for three spots. Particularly when you'd expect George to play 80 in one of them and Elsom/Brown/Bam/possibly Hodgeson to lock up the other, there's not a lot of room for an old guy like Phil!

Lock and Hooker similarly look a little skinny, there might not be much around, but it would be good to take away a quality prospect in both slots since touring is about developing culture for the 'tacklebags' I was surprised that McCalman got called into the training squad, but he's as good a chance as any. Somebody like Kepu would be a similar pick at prop.

so My team would be the same as yours (I'm assuming a party of 35) with the addition of Kepu and McCalman and swapping Waugh for Valentine.

Hooker I'm stuck on!

Hooker I'm stuck on!

Now that's not somethng you normally hear in polite circles!

If they need another Scrummie they can fly a very well credentialled one in from the continent.
