[QUOTE="Fa'atau82, post: 239188"] When you see these squads, you have to remember that they are picked on current form, availability and how the team will actually play on the field. Sure, Clerc is an awesome finisher but if his defence is lacking currently, then it's not a case of saying he's not good enough.. it's saying that it would damage his place. Clerc will be a first on the sheet usually, but taking plus and negative into account.. he's not 100%. Same with Michalak. At the moment he isn't in form and is being carried somewhat. Just because he has 50 caps, that doesn't make him infallable. At key positions like #10, you can't hide at test level. I have never seen how you can pick a player on anything other than current form. You get noticed with your form to get picked in the first place. You field a player who is not 100% at his game and they will fail. It's just a question of how much and how it costs the team.. or should i say.. if you do field them, how much can you afford to lose to waste? [/QUOTE]
