[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 596430, member: 57663"] Good post mate. Yup I have to agree. I said before the Ellis Park game that I felt this AB team was the best of the Hansen era and feel like after the weekends game it is pretty hard to argue otherwise. I expect they will go to the NH and come away undefeated and therefore go one up on last year. One thing that separates them this year from previous years (IMHO) is depth. Several threads have covered this in detail but there are just no other teams in the world that can even come close to boasting the talent off the bench (or even deeper in their extended squads) that the ABs can: Charles Piutau Corey Jane Francis Saili Beauden Barrett TJ Perenara Steven Luatua Sam Cane Ardie Savea Brad Shields the list goes on... This might annoy a few people but I honestly think the ABs could field a pure B-team and would be favorites against any team in the world except SA. [/QUOTE]
