Do they all have 33 man squads? We didn't even send that many on the old Kangaroo tours.

Decent line up on paper but the halves are their major weakness. I don't know why they keep persisting with Naiquama. Surely there's a 5/8th or Halfback running around in nswcup or in Fiji with better skills than Naiquama

I think they named extra because guys like RCG & the Safiti brothers might make the Aussie Squad.

It's almost as big as our commonwealth games team
Funny enough, i just searched for the size of the Fiji Comm games team. They sent 64 athletes, which is a lot of for a small country, but almost half of those were sevens players.

I thought this might have been taking the piss, so i actually checked for myself. Yep, Greece was the "Europe Play off 3" team.

In a sign of what they might be in for, their captain Jordan Meads, appears to be currently be playing for the University of Sunshine Coast's Rugby Union team, having been captain-coach of the Beerwah Bulldogs before that.

NZ team is stacked. Only weakness is probably centers. I'd have Kodi Nikorima as utility and Rapana over DWZ.

DWZ has played way better than Rapana this season. Nikorima isn't that good. JMK is a better option than Nikorima.

Greek Top 17

Zeus captain and play maker (eldest of 3 brothers).

Poseidon great in wet weather footy (middle brother).

Hades has a reputation of winning games at the death (youngest brother of the 3).

Hercules tough as nails and very strong.

Uranus had a crap season, selected on past reputation.

Hermes great defensive player.

Hephaestus hard worker, can sculpt a game to his liking.

Cronus former captain but still vital in attack.

Eros loves playing, and it shows.

Hypnos is a great player..mesmerises opposition in attack, but does have a tendency to fall asleep at times in defence..

Nemesis tough as nail, very protective of his teammates, will go after anyone who does wrong by them.

Hymenaios a great team man works well in combination

Geras most experienced player, getting on in years but still very valuable.

Deimos puts dread in the opposition.

Phobos as with his partner in crime Deimos puts fear into his opponents.

Comus the heart and soul of the team, keeps the energy up with his exuberance.

Aristarus a busy bee.

Coach Niké

Looks like they will be competitive… :grimacing:
