I'd leave Turua-Quedley at 7. With Api not really having much ball playing ability I'd park her on short sides and have LTQ and Maliepo combining on the play making as much as possible.
We'll go ok against the lesser teams if our back 5 cut back on all the nightmare errors in our own end. Get some fatigue into the opp and Brake & Ekanasio could be a Leipana combo through the middle of the field in yardage.
The Aussie 7 struggled when she had to move laterally, but she looked alright on defence when she could plant her feet and put a few hits on, maybe a move into the middle in her future? She's got the body shape for the engine room.
