[QUOTE="darwin_23, post: 198506"] As you mentioned the problem with Williams is his pace (or lack of it)... as you said he has the same pace as Nonu or Hamilton, but personally I don't believe it is up to the standard required of a All Black winger (I would however much rather have him on the wing than either Hamilton or Nonu...). Having (unfortunately) watched most of the Highlanders game this year he was much more effective at fullback than on the wing...similarly when he has played for canterbury on the wing he has not really impressed me at all.. not sure why - he just seems more comfortable at fullback (where I do rate him very highly). Personally i think they will play Muliana on the wing with MacDonald at fullback. In midfield I'd go for Nonu/Smith combo - I have been really impressed with Nonu this year. If Kahui could manage to string more than a couple of games together I'd be happy to see him there ahead of Smith. I think he is potentially a world class centre if only he could manage to sort out his injury problems... [/QUOTE]
