[QUOTE="GoTheNaki, post: 744652, member: 70789"] For the All Blacks: #1 Nonu - If Nonu is injured, it's all over. Sorry, he is probably our most vital piece. If Nonu disappears, then Carter will play like trash(ref: See lost game vs Australia, even look at the next game, who was playing fantastic? That's right, Nonu.), then our game won't flow, the ABs will fall over. SBW at 12 does not work. Conrad doesn't play as Conrad without Nonu. Nonu draws defenders in for the likes of the world dangerous attackers of - Savea, Ben Smith, Nehe, Naholo etc. to get away. #2 McCaw - This man does a lot of things right. A lot of illegal things right... Vital. #3 Kaino/Read/Messam/Vito - If one or two of these guys have a fantastic tournament, it is all go for us Kiwis. #4 Aaron Smith - I am...... Not a fan of his... When he plays Northern Hemisphere teams. He kicks away possession when the teams we play from up there(even SA), like to keep it and just bunt and bash away at us. #5 Ben Smith - It's gotta be Ben Smith... He is no Israel Dagg on 2011/2012 form, slipping through defenders with the goosey or whatnot. But he's still a Super Rugby Champion. If he's involved in a positive way, we play really well. As for the Aussies: Cooper/Pocock/Genia(**** Phipps, honestly, YOU CHOSE HIM CHEIKA??)/10/12 Doesn't matter how good Folau is, and he's good... If his front-men are crap, and his first and second receivers don't give him good ball or set-ups. Pff, won't matter. [/QUOTE]
