Still don't rate McCowatt. Clearly not in our strongest 23. Still not sold on Just or Garbett either.
yeah I'd agree, 23 selected for the WC assuming we make it. Means 8 of the current 31 dont get a look in. McCowatt, De Jong, will be 2 that might miss selection.
Singh, M Boxall and one of Woud or Tzanev also come into in the 23. Possibly also Thomas & Rojas. So 10-13 of the guys that were at this tourney, will miss out if everyone is available. Some tough decisions ahead for Hay. There will be some disappointed guys.
Very different to recent cycles of picking amateur players (Barron & Lewis in 2017) or likes of Jeremy Christie 2013 last minute callups.
