[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 690108, member: 24910"] Cruden should start at 10 IMO. Barrett on the bench. Carter sent back to NZ to learn how to play rugby. While I can see the logic behind giving Carter more time, starting him versus Wales would likely do more harm than good. He looked woefully short of rugby versus Scotland - one match isn't going to change that - so it wouldn't surprise me if he was poor against Wales too (if selected). That's not going to help his confidence one bit. If Carter is able to play a season of Super Rugby - and his form suggests he is capable of performing at test level - then I would consider playing him again for the ABs. I think we need to be playing the 10 who will be most likely be starting at the business end of the RWC next year. For me that is Cruden. Carter will almost certainly be watching in the stands (or on his tv at home) injured.... [/QUOTE]
