[QUOTE="Dizzy, post: 508406, member: 21905"] Except, you're forgetting Cory Jane got his chance in the Tri Nations only because of injury cover. If it wasn't for him being included because of injury, Cory wouldn't have had the chance to show he was the most obvious candidate for that jersey come World Cup time, so your theory kinda doesn't apply. And if you want to argue it does, then if you can allow someone to be brought into the squad for the World Cup based on past experiences in the Black jersey, then why can't you allow it to happen for a three test series. You're willing to let it go for something more important, then kick up a fuss for a three test series? Look, I know Weepu did a stupid kick pass that lead to the French try in the final, but other than that, ALL you guys are exaggerating when you say Weepu was "VERY POOR" in recent All Blacks matches.. Why? because he missed conversions and penalty kicks? Get the f*** outta here I don't agree, He has been scoring tries consistently, which is obvious as he is the leading try scorer of the tournament. And everytime he gets ball in hand he looks dangerous. Considering he runs the ball back instead of kicking it I'm inclined to ask what you base this opinion on?.. When Taylor does kick the ball, it goes out and reaches atleast the halfway line, the guy has a super boot on him. Again, I don't know where you base this from as Taylor has never looked like he is crumbling under pressure, he has actually at times, made try saving tackles, got to his feet and pilfered the ball or gained a penalty in trying to pilfer, one of his great tries actually came from this act of play, where he made a tackle in the 22, got up pilfered the ball, passed the ball to his support player, and they ran to the other end of the field with Taylor gaining on them to recieve the final pass and run in the last 30 or so metres to score... So I'd say Andre Taylor is very cool headed. Now this I agree with, but only because Ben Smith leads everything when it comes to work rate, it would be absolutely hard to compete with his work rate.
