[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 518662, member: 24910"] I agree entirely. I certainly don't think 29 is 'too old' for a midfield back. Many centres play quality rugby well into their 30's - indeed one of the All Blacks' greatest centres (Frank Bunce) didn't even debut for the AB's until he was 30! My thoughts exactly. Carter is the best 10 in the world, and though he would do a good job at 12, he is not as effective there (as we have seen for the Crusaders this season). Likewise Nonu is arguably the best 12 in world rugby, but when was the last time he played at 13, let alone excelled at 13? They need to pick a 13 and let Carter and Nonu dominate in their preferred positions (as they usually do) :) [/QUOTE]
