Disagree, being able to drink, play, and party your way around the world is totally different to being stuck in hotels with training and playing the only thing on the agenda

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?
