From the NZ team, I would have Whare at left centre and Kahu on the bench as a utility.
I would have Taumalalo on the bench as an impact player with ET starting lock.
If Proctor isn't fit than I would have Thompson starting and Matulino on the bench
From the Aussie team,
I would have J Trbojevic at lock instead of Klemmer.
Vaughan instead of Boyd
And find a way to get Coen Hess and possibly Wade Graham in the side.
Being a tigers fan I would have Nofoaluma on the wing instead of Ferguson.
I would have Joey Leilua/Croker/Walker playing in the centres with Jack Bird being the bench utility.
Teddy @ fullback instead of Boyd.
If Thurston isn't fit to play than I would have Cody Walker or DCE playing 5/8
1\. Tedesco
2\. Nofoaluma

The packs are similar to those that played the three tests at the back end of 2016 and it was the Kiwi's pack that was blown apart. I was expecting much better from their pack but they were comfortably outplayed. JWH was particularly unimpressive. Moreover, in Australia's favour is that Papaali will be available this time.

LOL.

This is my team, not the team that will get selected.
Of course there is no way they will select Teddy or Nofo but this is the team I would select if I was the selector, which I am not.
