Payne & Kosta are near starting givens now I agree. To me it's McCowatt up top alongside Wood, and then likely Kosta ahead of Just. Singh as a central 10.
Then 3 of Garbett, Old, Stamenic, Lewis, Bell & Rufer. Dibley-Dias is obviously another who will be in the mix, if he stays with NZ. I'd say of those only Stamenic is a certainty to start currently.
Then alongside M Boxall, take your pick of Surman, Tuiloma or Bindon. The latter is obviously doing well in the UK. Be very interesting to see how he goes alongside Surman at the Olympics - could be the future long term AWs CB combination.
