(Note: I have removed Mitchell from the team because of his season ending injury)
Note on reserves
Of the remaining hookers, only Faingaa and Hanson have a positive score.
Of the remaining props, Dunning, Daley and Kepu are very close, the rest are negative. Daley and Kepu, despite playing more games, had both positive and negative games and hence almost by default, Dunning is ahead.
Pocock has only played a few games, but has scored in every game, hence is the best scored backrower after the starting ones.
