Not even sure Rufer makes it. Better than Brimmer, Gallegos or Verstraeten? IMO, in order, Francois, Mata and Rogerson were the weak links. Harsh on Rogerson, who was actually decent. I'd have Ishige for Francois, LBS for Rogerson. Yes, I think LBS is a better player! And Kosta for Mata. Probably Eze for Mata too, based on skimpy evidence, TBC.

I asked this question in the Auckland thread, but it's worth putting in here as well IMO.

How many players in the NIX would currently make the Auckland starting 11? 

Outside Rufer I don't see anyone getting in - Payne unlucky because he is up against Sakai. The above fills me with angst, because I really really want to beat Auckland this year!
