Pior has to go on a wing

[Donsteppa]

Perhaps Caleb Ralph and Keith Prior on the wings, Rua Tipoki at centre?

[Toddy]

Did Tipoki get more caps for BOP or NH?

As I mention above Gary Braid would have to be one of the locks.

I think that you already know the thoughts about Caleb Ralph for a wing spot.

Am disappointed Mark Basham didn't get a mention. If only for the hair.
