illy Slater, Darius Boyd, Greg Inglis, Will Chambers, Josh Morris, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Paul Gallen (vc), Cameron Smith, Bryan Norrie, Ryan Hoffman, Sam Thaiday, Glenn Stewart. If the test side had been picked pre GF, then Barba would be in. He had a shocker, he wont be in the 18. Don't be surprised if Norrie gets a green and gold jersey (if he is eligible for Aus). The best thing will be more Qlders than Cockroaches (even without the NZ born ones).
Sika Manu wasn't in the team last time but yeah, pretty much. Nightingale, SKD and Glenn injured. Vatuvei, Blair and JWH dropped. Fien retired.
God I hate Test selection day. Just makes me want to cry...........Literally. Suppose I should be glad Tate won't cop another injury before next year. Fuck me dead though he deserved to be there.

At least Myles got picked this time. It's a better team than the one they picked for the ANZAC Test by a fair way IMO, although some of the typical shunts being injured helped that along a bit.
Did New Zealand seriously drop Vatuvei? Kearney has no idea, how in the world could you justify dropping the best winger in the world? Australia by 50.
lol, Vatuvei getting dropped almost makes up for Tate not getting picked. Bout time that hack was retired from Test football. Perrett is a gun.
