It will be pretty much everyone fit who didn't play vs Wales plus a few from the bench.
DMac, Reece, Ennor, Tupaea, Bridge, Moúnga, Christie, Sotutu, Cane, Jacobsen, Tupaea, Lord, Ofa, Coles, Bower
De Groot, Aumua, Taávao, Frizell, AIoane, Weber, RIoane, JBarrett
Assuming the props are all fit.
Edit: It's possible that Havili will be in the 23, but if he is, I think that will be a pretty clear indication they're not going to use him in the next game.
R Ioane has played a ton this year, the most minutes maybe? I think he’ll get a rest, maybe Jordie too - both too important to risk. I think they’ll have Havili on the bench covering mid/FB, and Jordan for wing. Havili needs to get back upto speed after a trio of poor performances.
@machpants I don't think they will play Jordan, because that would likely mean five games in a row for him on EOYT.
I think Jordie and Rieko - because they didn't play at all vs USA. But, they might not get off the bench unless someone is injured.
I don't think Havili needs more game time - but, he is the only other back who skipped the USA game.

It's sad when even the locals have given up on you.

This is one of the strongest squads for many a year The second XV would give the first a run for its money

Which is as it should be.

@berniescorner yes I definitely agree and when you got the likes of Scott Barrett,Patrick tuipolotu,Caleb Clarke and Peter umaga jenson(in my opinion should be in the squad) to add to that squad and some exciting players not capped such as Jonah nareki,folau faketava,devan Flanders and kini naholo(if he stays injury free) who I hope will be capped sooner rather than later

@pakman nothing with Frizzel in it is balanced.

For me only surprise in 23 was Jordie ahead of Jordan. Suggest latter not currenly viewed as a 15 (or that Ritchie and Jordie are designated goalkickers).
Will be fascinating to see how bench employed.
