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?

The interesting one in the squad is Christ Tshiunza who I think has played four games for Exeter. I know he is highly rated by Baxter and co but...

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

Yeah smacks of desperation calling someone up after 4 or 5 games at that level....

Yeah Eddie has done the same but then forgets about them for 5 years and once he is forced to play them they get called up for the Lions

Hallam Amos to retire. Sounds like he’s been given an ultimatum by Pivac?

Possibly
Or knows his own mind
Hasn’t been playing well so quite possibly distracted/conflicted

If that comes to pass, it’ll be the Second Coming of Christ

O'Keeffe and all three Aust refs get a 6N game each.
The full list of match appointments are below:

Squads have mostly been announced for 6N 2022. The unvaxxed can't play in Italy or France, so you might see some swapping and changing within the 23, esp for England (Slade)
-
Bit of a hit for France!
Romain Ntamack, Antoine Dupont, François Cros, Gaëtan Barlot, Anthony Jelonch, Cyril Baille, and Bernard Le Roux have all been removed due to positive Covid-19 results.
Added to this, back row Cameron Woki and giant tighthead Uini Atonio have also been removed due to injury

Whereas England has improved with Farrell out and Ford back. Lawes is injured tho, he was stand in captain last time
