The teams are in for Sunday’s clash with Wellington. See who’s in and who’s out of this week’s side.

This week sees the long-awaited return of marquee man Nicolas Colazo to the squad after being declared fully fit for Sunday’s contest.

The Argentine suffered a burst ear drum from a clash in Round 1 – coincidentally against Wellington – and underwent surgery at the start of the month to repair the injury.

Concerns to Dean Bouzanis and Osama Malik have been alieviated with both players selected in the extended squad to take on the Phoenix on Sunday.
