[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 1004678, member: 43875"] Probably the best wing in the world in 2017-18 so "mediocrity" is a bit harsh.... His form and fitness completely vanished last year and became one of the many reason the AB's had to almost totally reinvent themselves right before a world cup. But he seems to have his pace and intensity back this year and is playing much better but is he one of our two best midfielders? IMO no... Yes he blew a try with a schoolboy error but he can't not learn from that, that one hand plant of his is unusual and as much a trademark as Rokocoko's splash but he has to adjust it. I hope the selectors go back to ALB and Goodue. Dropping ALB was a mistake hes probably the best test midfielder in the world tackled at something crazy like 97-98% in tests for the ABs last year and developed this crazy habit of being in the right place at the right time to make critical plays. This All Black squad is very much a work in progress, I expect a lot of changes to be made before we found something close to our best 23 [/QUOTE]
