New Zealand squad: Adam Blair (Melbourne), Lewis Brown (Warriors), Greg Eastwood (Leeds), Nathan Fien (St George Illawarra), Bronson Harrison (Canberra), Lance Hohaia (Warriors), Shaun Kenny-Dowall (Sydney Roosters), Thomas Leuluai (Wigan), Issac Luke (South Sydney), Simon Mannering (Warriors), Sika Manu (Melbourne), Benji Marshall (Wests Tigers), Ben Matulino (Warriors), Fuifui Moimoi (Parramatta), Jason Nightingale (St George Illawarra), Frank-Paul Nuuausala (Sydney Roosters), Sam Perrett (Sydney Roosters), Frank Pritchard (Penrith), Junior Sa'u (Newcastle), Jeremy Smith (St George Illawarra), Manu Vatuvei (Warriors), Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (Sydney Roosters), Antonio Winterstein (Brisbane).



Unreal squad they've got there. Everyone else should be on high alert.

lets just hope benji stays fit and focused....or else they'll be running round like headless chickens like they normally do when benji goes missing

An unbelievable squad that.



Some real talent in there. Their forwards look really strong.

Second most likely or third.

Its Oz and daylight according to the bookies even with around 8 of their first choice players missing.

With a team which will most likely line up as follows, I think they look very strong indeed;



1. Lance Hohaia, 2. Manu Vatuvei, 3. Junior Sa'u 4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 5. Sam Perrett, 6. Benji Marshall, 7. Thomas Leuluai, 8. Adam Blair, 9. Issac Luke, 10. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, 11. Frank Pritchard 12. Jeremy Smith 13. Simon Mannering



Subs: 14. Frank-Paul Nuuausala, 15. Fuifui Moimoi, 16. Sika Manu, 17. Bronson Harrison

In the past they have gone for Fien at 7 with Tommy L at interchange hooker and i expect them to go that way this time too. I think this is as strong a NZ squad as i have seen for a while.

pmack17-Blair at 8 are you for real?

That pack will flatten ours (Morley, Burgess, Graham, Ellis are class, but not enough for that pack) then the backs will run riot.



I hope i'm wrong but that team could easily put 40 on England.

Don't talk daft. I reckon a NZ-Aus final, but I don't think we'll do too badly. NZ to win it.

My NZ Line-up:-

Lance Hohaia

James Nightingale

Junior Sa'u

Shaun Kenny-Dowall

Manu Vatuvei

Benji Marshall

Nathan Fien

Frank-Paul Nuuausala

Thomas Leuluai

Fuifui Moimoi

Frank Pritchard

Simon Mannering

Adam Blair

Subs:-

Issac Luke

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves

Greg Eastwood

Sika Manu

You wouldn't have Eastwood in?



I would be very surprised if they have Leuluai at scrum half.

Tommy L has been playing mostly as a Scrum Half this season and has been superb, as his MOTM award on Saturday shows.
