Welcome aboard Wally

Ask and yea shall receive!
It may need updating by now but as at the start of the year when Andrew Walker came home.
As you can see, easily enough to have a fifth S14 team if they were all home.

[The InnFORCEr]

you never cease to amaze me Burgs, don't tell me that was "just off the top of ya head" right!

[Burgs]

Doesn't everyone know these things

Actually stumbled across it somewhere on the ARU site at the start of the season mate

[James]

Mate we still got Flavell, Brad Mika, Anthony Boric, Angus McDonald, Jay Williams, Jerome Kaino who are all capable replacement at lock.
As for sliding in the next few years just because of the departure of two locks & a 2nd 5/8 is laughable. From the Auckland & Harbour squad named for the NPC, I could name a XV strong enough to maybe win the Super 14 next year and compete well in the years after.

No point arguing about it now, we'll just have to see how they do.
