International New Zealand Kiwis

But they were penalised, and Isaako missed what should've been a sitter. Was I at a different game?!

For what it's worth I think the Kiwis urgently need to get some stability in the spine, and preferably find a 6 to compliment Hughes who can kick a goal.
Now that Parramatta are looking towards the future, barring injury. I doubt Brown is going to get any more game time.
Be interesting to see if Stacey even picks Brown.

I’ve also got a funny feeling with his shoulder injury, Hughes might sit out the series. Hope I’m wrong.
Personally I don’t mind a Brown and Foran halves combo.

6. Brown/CHT/Nikorima
7. Foran/TMM/Crossland

Goal kicking could force Pompey into that left centre spot.
I’m bloody looking forward to this series though.
 
There are going to be a few names coming into the Kiwis possibly newbies from last year and some debutants. Pretty sure Maclean will get a run. Willison from the Broncs looks like a handy prop. Hard to say what happens with Hughes, he doesn't recquire surgery and will be ready for the finals. Can see this being Foran's swansong at test level.
 
Kangaroo defections to Samoa and possibly Ponga aligning to the Kiwis will be a promoter's dream. While this may not involve Aussie, it will still get plenty of interest. Still predicting the Kiwis to pick a few non aligned guys who could have played Origin in the future. Also expecting a few of our regulars to miss the tournament, due to club pressure. Will be an awesome series.
 
I think they are going to pick McLean and Mulitalo on the left despite IMO Kris deserving the LC spot
I think Stacey will “fit” CNK there. If Kini is healthy and playing he needs to be fullback IMO for a bit more firepower.

Mcleans ceiling is clearly higher than Kris. Although Kris is playing exceptionally well. We have so many options now in a position we usually struggled in.
