Basalaj will be one, Imray the other. If they both play for the 'nix they don't have another option for the opening couple of weeks.
Is there a possibility that NZF will come to the party and wipe the stand down period?
You can bet they will be putting in a request. If it's happened before for unique situations like this one then I can't see why they wouldn't consider it. After all the Nix are a big part of that national team.
