[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 434974, member: 43875"] I honestly think if the All Blacks need to call in cover for 7 it wont be one of the kids (Todd, Braid, Cane) it will be one of the experienced guys Waldrum, Whitelock, Latimer. I'd go for waldrum Heck, maybe Holah (loooong shot) would get a look in. He was very impressive last night against wellington, Holah is no Richie McCaw but I at the breakdown and turnover ball I think he was actually better than McCaw. McCaw is better in most other areas though. It's a strong squad, no one will be 100% happy with it. I'm sure the All Black coaches weren't all in agreement about who was selected and who was cut. 4-5 spots in the squad would have come down to 50/50 calls in the end. Fricken harsh on the guys that missed out. Liam messam in particular but Gear as well. Messam would have come off the park on sunday morning thinking he had done enough, watching the game again he did ok. no mistakes, some good breakdown work - he was actuall one of the only guys to be effective moving boks off the ball who were trying to slow it down and for the amount of time he was on the park he arrived at more breakdowns than pretty much anyone else. harsh harsh call.
