With Wood we are a chance. Sans Wood we would likely be a popcorn attack, and next to none.
They ain't picking players from the Austrian or Portuguese 2nd tiers. Payne would lucky to be in their top 5 RB selections.
They would pick Cacace, Stamenic and Wood in a 23 man squad. Maybe Bindon, Paulsen and Old. We have Tyler but they have 21 yr old defender Alessandro Circati who has already played over 30 games in Serie A. Currently injured.
They are still a very solid team. Lots of experienced hard nosed guys late 20s-early 30s playing in tough leagues. They are definitely a harder team to get into, than the AWs.

The AWs have proved this many time against OFC teams where we've struggled when we shouldn't have, and England proves it just about every time they play.
I think Aussie is struggling as a cohesive unit right now. Loads better players then us but they don't seem to play well together.
