[QUOTE="Dizzy, post: 508234, member: 21905"] I'm sorry Larksea. This has been a thorn in my butt for some time.. It's "career" bro, not carrier.. lol.. On the Weepu selection, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Sure he hasn't been our outstanding halfback throughout the super rugby campaign but like I said in a previous post, Cory Jane was crap in Super Rugby last year and wasn't picked in the squad, but when he was given his injury cover chance in an All Black jersey he took it with flying colours and I'm absolutely glad he was picked for the World Cup. Weepu hasn't been awful, his game has improved with each week and when he has come on it's evident that the Blues game has picked up. In an All Black environment it will only get better I promise you. Now, I do feel bad for Ellis, but I feel the selectors have justified their selection because Ellis ISN'T a playmaking player, he ISN'T as witty as Weepu when Weepu's game is on and if we're going to want Ellis over Weepu why not kick up a stink about Perenara getting the nod over Smith?... And smartcooky, I don't know what you're talking about. When New Zealand are missing a few players we have other players who can step up to the mark, it's something other countries aren't as wealthy in. Irish are missing some key men and they will struggle alot without them. I'm thinking NZ will take a clean sweep here. [/QUOTE]
