[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 632742, member: 43400"] With regard to Richie McCaw, I can see the ABs passing the Captaincy to Keiran Read fulltime, and rotating the use of McCaw and Sam Cane in the starting role, with the other coming of the bench (in much the same way the Chiefs use Cane and Latimer now). This would allow the ABs to utilise McCaw's leadership skills, and prolong his longevity, while giving Cane the game time he needs. I would also like to see Mealamu on the bench, while Coltman and Coles alternate as the starting hookers (as Jabby suggested), to allow them to get the test experience, and utilise/learn from Mealamu's experience. Dan Carter (when he becomes available) and Cruden could also alternate starts, with Beauden Barrett and Tom Taylor also being brought onto the bench, so we can maintain our depth at 10 also [/QUOTE]
