[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 359741, member: 38640"] Different problem. We could pretty much have a totally new backline and be fine, except at fly half and half back, in which we'd be screweed, so we'd still probably lose. Picking a backline that wasn't on tour for the All Blacks and was avalible/uninjured - 9. Brendan Leonard, Taniela Moa, Tyson Keats. That's a pretty weak selection. 10. Colin Slade, Aaron Cruden, Stephen Brett. Those three are promising, but not up to Carter's level. 11. Zac Guildford, Ben Smith 12. Luke McAlister, Benson Stanely, Tana Umaga 13. Robert Fruean, Rene Range 14. Julian Savea, Lelia Masaga 15. Tim Nanai-Williams And those don't include any of the players on tour. Obviously though, missing out on 15 players is very rough. In 2009 during the June series, and early Tri Nations, we were in the same boat. [/QUOTE]
