I'd give Pierce the first chance along side Tuipulotu

Yeah, he's looked handy at times. Goodhue might be in danger of missing out, especially if they look to bring in some like Paripari Parkinson from outside.

The team is shaping up now, but there's a lot of inexperience at the back.

1. Karl T
2. ? Abel or Niuia?
3. Ofa T
4. Tuipulotu
5. ? Maybe one of the Harbour boys or Whetton?
6. Robinson
7. Papalii
8. Ioane
9. Christie
10. Barrett
11. Narawa
12. Faiane
13. Ioane
14. Tele'a
15. Perofeta
16. Parsons
17. Hodgman
18. Renata
19. GCT
20. Gibson/Sotutu
21. Nock
22. Manu/Plummer
23. Duffie/Manu

Olmsted would be handy.

Clarke and Nanai are out, and we still have Ioane, Duffie, and Tele'a. Should see some game time then, especially if Ioane plays at 13 some times. Duffie to be more of a 15 option next year?

Manu would be a good option to play 13 and wing.

Any other prospects? Telea from Harbour, and Fainga'anuku from Tasman?

Would prefer Taylor, Tuipulotu, and SBW starting.

She suffered from a severe depression when she was 11, he goes on to explain, and taking action on climate change helped her recovery. The family bought an electric car, stopped flying — a rule that effectively ended Thunberg’s opera-singer mother’s international career — and became mostly vegetarian. “It is like day and night, it is an incredible transformation,” he says, talking about how happy and energetic she is now.
