This week’s team lineup story has Neville set to start on Saturday…

Philip out with injury…

Doran speculating about a Harry Wilson recall.

Ouch. Philip out as well as Swain and no Leota. Getting thin on the ground. Neville and Holloway to start with Frost on the bench?

Can't say I'm thrilled about 2, 17 & 18...

I am somewhat surprised that Sott Barrett not in team, and Sam W is captain, thought he due a rest. Would of liked Bower and Newell on bench too, but guessing Ryan has a plan?

Though on second thoughts, perhaps if Coles is hurting, I can understand starting Taylor, if he has off game, throw ST on early?

Will need to be a big shift from Wilson. While I think he’s gonna be a proper beast in a couple years, if he can clean up his ruck work and focus his unrivalled enthusiasm this weekend, that will put him in better stead for more game time later this year.

Glad Wilson is given an opportunity in his actual position
Yes it’s good, Valetini can do his job from either position but Wilson is much more an 8 than a 6, and compensates a bit for the fact that Samu isn’t an out and out 7.

I hope Neville is match fit. I recall his last test was a cracker so if he's fully fit and in form this could well be an even better locking combo. Still concerned having a first game back at Eden Park.

I'm assuming he is going to be line-out caller.
