[QUOTE="Flyingdolphins, post: 681426, member: 71794"] Hosea Gear whilst in Toulouse wasn't the fastest winger because another Fijian was Timoci Matanavou who didn't even make the non travelling reserve for the Fiji team. Charles Piatau like Savea has no pace, when he was playing sevens he was consistently caught and burned by the Fiji sevens forwards let alone the wingers. Ben Smith played against Fiji in 2011 and he was ordinary even the Fiji backrow matched him for pace. I remember one of Fiji's tries where one of the backrow for Fiji took the ball and ran, I remember how the All Blacks backs were struggling to keep up and I was thinking gosh Fijian players are mega fast. As for Cory Jane I remeber him being run over by a Fijian centre who was playing wing for the stormers, Naqelevuki. So Vidiri who played for Fiji before being selected for NZ is a kiwi and Sivivvatu who played for the Pacific Islanders because he was a Fijian who then got slected for NZ is a Kiwi? I bet you would have loved to have Caucau and Vunibaka too ey...lol..well lets swap you give us your second choice props and locks and we'll give you a few of our wingers ey lol... Anyways I was playing with you bro. The current All Blacks wingers are good. Savea has the 11 spot sealed and stamped. 14 I wouldn't mind trying Gear there. I like my wings to have one who is powerful and one fast. Savea power and Gear fast. Like for Fiji I'll have Nalaga at 11 for power and Ratini at 14 for speed. Fast and furious like our sevens team is how I like it...lol [/QUOTE]
