Good thread mate, I’d probably have Tapine in place of Mau in the second row

Agree, I forgot about him.

lol as if Slater hasn't been better than RTS

I'd also have Gillett in there ahead of Tapine.

Spoilt for choice for fullback with RTS, Mead, Widdop and Slater but I went with RTS. Also Tapine has been one of the best of the tournament.

Just put the Aussie team in from 1-13. The reserves can be made up of an Englishman, Tongan, PNG and a Yank.

Do the reserves walk into a bar?

I'm not sure what the requirements are for selection in these teams but did someone called Mitchell Mamary just get picked ahead of Jason Taumalolo?
