[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 631407, member: 24910"] We still have the best outside centre in the world (Conrad Smith), but we don't have a lot of depth behind him. Ben Smith was solid for the AB's during the end of last season (when Conrad was on sabbatical), but was not near as effective as he was on the wing. SBW was a midfield option during the RWC but he is back playing league (though will be back in union again next season), while the likes of Rene Ranger and Richard Kahui went overseas last season (Kahui in particular is a top class international centre). Toeava was another goodish centre option who has left since 2011. Crotty is a solid option at 13, and Ben Smith looked to be slowly growing into the position at the end of last year. 13 is still an area of concern (should Conrad Smith get injured), but I'm much more worried about other areas (particularly LH prop and hooker).
