Nikolai Foliaki not playing; Ahsee Tuala moving to 13 and Tevita Ofa coming into the starting line-up at 14. Esau Filimoehala coming onto the bench (23).
Not a fan of the selection as it blocks a NZ qualified player but is the type of player, older geizzles pro, that we need on the comp, rather than packing it full of schoolboy star prima donnas.
