[QUOTE="austingtir, post: 726291, member: 54150"] I still dont think Piutau will even be there (WC). Going from whats been said they gave him a rocket and he hasnt jumped on it party due to injury but before that he wasnt exactly leading by example at the Blues. The Blues needed him to do his best impression of Ben Smith and he couldnt do that. I honestly dont see a problem with taking Skudder over him. I still dont see why we would take Piutau over Skudder. Piutau is a third choice fullback and arguably a 3rd choice wing if they select Naholo and Ben can cover that aswell. We have untold guys that can cover wing. Hell SBW was on the wing at the last WC and theres no way he's going to start at 12 in a final! Hansen is not leaving after this WC so hes got nothing to loose on leaving Piutau out and yet he can gain experience with a guy that will be here next year.... Im sorry but to me its just a no brainer. [/QUOTE]
