[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 978002, member: 74121"] Apologies, I could have been more precise, but it was already an essay! I was thinking the following are changes that bring less attacking threat (which isn't necessarily to say they are worse players). Mounga replacing BB (agree on Carter and same with Cruden, more flair does not equal better player) ALB replacing SBW / Nonu Goodhue / Crotty replacing Conrad Smith I know the ALB opinion is contentious and I didn't see any of the RC games, or much of the Chiefs this year live - so maybe was looking great. He did look handy in the opening RWC match. I just think ALB was absolutely incredible along with DMac in Rennie's last year at the Chiefs, but hasn't kicked on since then (I can't remember if he got an injury or if my perception is based on the Chiefs post-Rennie slump). I'd still pick ALB way ahead of SBW this year, but from what I have seen he hasn't yet become the player that can turn the tide of an international match. [/QUOTE]
