*Salesi Rayasi is the 13th player..
Coming into this week, it’s the most players we’ve had fit and healthy in the past three seasons so it’s one of the strongest groups of players we’ve had to pick from.” Laidlaw commented that the truncated format, with no quarter-finals, means it’s important to perform from the outset. “This format really sharpens your focus; we need to be ready to really front on day one instead of perhaps building into the tournament. Our attention is firmly set on the first two teams that we come up against on day one.”
