AWs starting 11 against China.
Currently based in NZ - Sail & Payne (may have been at Blackburn age 20)
Were based in NZ when in NZ U20s - Pijnaker, Cacace, McCowatt & Just
I'm guessing at Melb Victory when in the U20s - Rojas
At a US College when in U20s - Bell & likely same M Boxall. Greive didn't play NZ U20s but at that age probably was at College in the US as well
In Europe when eligible U20s - Stamenic
Not a perfect analysis, but basically a big number of the AWs at around age 20 would have been in NZ or Aussie. Same as now.
Some overseas based eligible guys like Dibley-Dias could yet still come into the U20s (and later Olywhites). Covid travel restrictions likely would have interrupted some plans re U17/18 camps & bringing in overseas guys for a look last few years.
