[QUOTE="Icemn, post: 751668, member: 50355"] Personally i'm not to worried at this stage of the RWC with the Ab performance. Hanson is a master tactician and its way to early to "show his hand" unlike the boks vs samoa I've said it many times, the reason why NZ got knocked out in previous RWC was because of their greatest asset, their Dept they could easily field 4 teams each capable of winning a world cup the problem came in with selection, not knowing who to field so they kept chopping and changing to give everyone a chance good and well, but this breaks momentum and continuity now, they know who their starting 15 is... once Hanson start playing these guys week and week the performances will improve you can see that Hanson has used some of the pool games as a platform to test the players and for them to prove themselves From the next game he will start fielding the starting 15 for the rest of the tournament, taking each game and ref at a time These guys will start to click, remember the AB are away from home, in NZ they are a different animal so it will take a few games for them to gel i just don't want Hanson to chop and change the squad too much [/QUOTE]
