Obviously not knowing exactly who is available makes it a little hard but ill go on the fact theyre in unless they are publicly out so its G burgers out so far who'd be a shoe in for me anyway.

What ever NZ comes even a second string one will be good, we can ride on he back of the crap RU team and show that we have a Rugby Team that can win something this year, we need to pick the best team available to us, and not just pick kids for the future, I think having a few in the squad yes, but knowing they are there for the experience more than anything and pick a best 17/18 man team and go with it for all 3 games

Mine would be

Hardaker
Briscoe
Watkins
Reed
Hall

Widdop
Smith

T, Burguess
Roby
Graham

J. Tomkins
Bateman
O'Loughlin

Subs
Cuthbertson
Hill
Walmsley
S. Tomkins

Others

Currie
Cooper
McGilvray
Williams
Farrell
Percival
(would have been Stevie Ward if fit)

You play the best players available surely.

Bateman and Walmsley will be certainly in the 17 anyway imo.Walmsley without doubt.Might just be a little soon for Currie but he could be in the squad.

If Watkins/Hardaker pull out as somebody mentioned earlier I wouldn't be surprised to see Currie in to cover back row and centre.

Without Reed and Watkins we'd be looking at Percival and Shenton in the centres I'd have thought (although I'd pick Percival and Bateman).

If Hardaker is fit and available it wouldn't surprise me to see him play centre now with all these injuries.Not the way i would go but could see it happening

Age doesn't matter. He's only too old when he retires through being too old to play anymore or retires from international rugby.

Walmsley and Bateman will be in the squad and would be in my starting 13 with Cuthbertson
