Be very interesting to see the number of AFC first team squad including scholarship players that make the cross over.

As everyone seems fit, it may be all scholarship players including Gillion and possibly Sail, if they want to take a calculated chance that Woud doesn’t go down on match day.

Both Sail and Gillion need games so I expect it will happen.

Nah. Sail might play some games for AFC II during the Auckland hub, but I'd say that's unlikely and he'd be a zero chance to travel with them to any hubs elsewhere. Nightmare trying to recall him from say Honiara if Woud went down injured.

AFC II have signed Oscar Mason as effectively their 3rd GK, with Joe Knowles, Blake Callinan and Eli Jones already on their books.

Liam Gillion likewise might get some mins in the Auckland hub, but again unlikely. 

Clubs can only register 23 players in the OFC League. 
With 3 games in a week in hot steamy conditions they might well need all 20 outfield players during a hub. Why bother registering two first team players like Sail and Gillion who would barely feature in the OFC League.
