1. Joseph Manu 2. Ronaldo Mulitalo 21. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 4. Peta Hiku 5. Jordan Rapana 6. Dylan Brown 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Brandon Smith 10. James Fisher-Harris 11. Isaiah Papali'i 12. Kenny Bromwich 13. Joseph Tapine
Interchange 14. Kieran Foran 15. Moses Leota 16. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 17. Briton Nikora
Reserves 19. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Marata Niukore

 

Pretty close to full strength and grand final players included unlike Australia. I’d have Kris there instead of CNK but it’s early days.

That’s a very strong team will win this comfortably and will take some stopping in the comp.

I like to look at a bench first to gauge a team …  that bench is impressive . And Niukore isn’t even in the 17

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Lebanon will do well to keep the Kiwis below 70.

[Young Blood]

NZ 38- Lebanon 14 

NZ will win easily but Lebanon will put up a fight don't be 70-0.

[StandOffHalf]

82-6 to the Kiwis

[jim_57]

Hughes out injured, Foran to halfback, Marshall-King to bench.

Nothing's impossible. Lebanon came very close to beating Tonga in 2017. 

[SydneyRoosters]

NZ- 68

Lebanon-12

[DaneH]

New Zealand to win by plenty here.

[The Partisan]

NZ by 20 -30 after a competitive first half. 

Kebab sales at venue to be record breaking.

NZ 44 - Lebanon 10

I expect Lebanon to put up a bit of a fight here then NZ to run away with it a bit at the end.

[Dunbar]

What Lebanon do have is a very good half back pairing in Mitchell Moses and Adam Doueihi.  If they can add a bit of control and the rest of the team put in the hard work then they may do ok.

I expect the final score to be closer that the England or Australia games.
