[QUOTE="Black Heart, post: 455215, member: 44806"] I wasn't implying that. I said that the effectivness of the backline will be comprimised. Not all of its effectivness mind you, perhaps I used the wrong choice in words, I should have said:[I] somewhat comprimised. [/I]Regardless, it is no doubt a fact. Carter was the axle of the side and although we might replace that axle with something similar, the wheels will not turn anywhere near as well. Your point about Nonu playing well in space is a good one. At the end of the day, the amount of space he gets to work with will come down to how much Slade can create. I worry about Nonu because he is the most potent attacker but he doesn't have the mental set to control the game when the first five is under pressure ([I]I only think back to last year's test against Australia where Carter was absent) [/I]All a team like the Springboks need to do is rush Slade all night and I think we'll be dead and buried. It was always the one worry I had about Nonu in that he would never be able to play the backup first five role. [/QUOTE]
