Another blow for the poor old Pommies

They are now missing two of their best in Schulthorpe and McGuire, as well as a variety of others. Will be hard to take given their lack of depth in the halves.
This virtually ensures that Harris will be at 5/8, outside Deacon/Burrow/Horne - again, the halves combination looks like being a big weakness. Along with Sinfield all of these guys are decent footballers but its doubtful whether they are good enough to make any sort of impact internationally.
With the Kiwis and GB significantly understrength, Australia should win this easily. Saturday night was encouraging but its going to be a tough ask for NZ and the Poms.
