Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Adam Blair, Jesse Bromwich ©, Kenny Bromwich, Kieran Foran, David Fusitu’a, Shaun Johnson, Jordan Kahu, Issac Luke, Simon Mannering, Kodi Nikorima, Russell Packer, Kevin Proctor, Jordan Rapana, Brandon Smith, Jason Taumalolo, Martin Taupau, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Dean Whare

That's a really strong squad. Should be a good game.
 
Brandon Smith

NZ squad always throws up an unusual selection.
Melbourne Storm backup hooker apparently. Matt McIllwrick can consider himself unlucky.

Yeah it's a really good squad, although the centres and second row will be well behind Australia. I'd expect something like this:

1\. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
2\. Jordan Rapana
3\. David Fusitu’a
4\. Dean Whare
5\. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
6\. Kieran Foran
7\. Shaun Johnson
8\. Jesse Bromwich ©
9\. Issac Luke
10\. Martin Taupau
11\. Kevin Proctor
12\. Simon Mannering
13\. Jason Taumalolo

14\. Nelson Asofa-Solomona
15\. Adam Blair
16\. Russell Packer
17\. Kodi Nikorima

Big bodies up the middle all game...

He's probably there just to gain some experience. I doubt he'll get any game time. Mcilwrick is probably a bit too old to fill that kind of role.
 
Here's a second NZ team:

1\. Peter Hiku
2\. Jason Nightingale
3\. Konrad Hurrell
4\. Kirisome Auva'au
5\. Sosaia Feki
6\. Te Maire Martin
7\. Corey Norman
8\. Jared Warea-Hargreaves
9\. Matt McIllwrick
10\. Ben Matulino
11\. Manu Mau
12\. Bodene Thompson
13\. Elijah Taylor

14\. Suaia Matagi
15\. James Fisher-Harris
16\. Sauaso Sue
17\. Brad Takaurangi
