You say it's a non story but I can think of plenty of players this hasn't applied to as they got on. Most notable of recent times being Kieran Read.

Not enough kiwis IMO

I only counted 7 players who will be unavailable against us. Not sure where this figure of 21 came from.
@akan004 There are several players out injured for the entire autumn series so not listed. Amos, Lydiate, Tupric, North, Lee, Navidi etc. Plus no doubt a few others named Williams and Davies!

@higgins He's 31. I guess he just qualified on residence.

@mikethesnow I see that James Botham isn't in the squad. Is he injured or has he been dropped?

Giving him a sense of the step up
Don’t expect him to play
They’ve done it with a number of players
