Selection sources & comparison rules
An addition is a player in the selected Sydney edition who was absent from Auckland’s final 23. Starting-XV retention counts players, including position switches. The final view reconciles both completed-match line-up records by stable player ID. The announcement view preserves the dated team releases. Bench selection is kept separate from match participation.
