[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 508460, member: 43875"] weepu was 0 from 3 at goal in the final and handed the french the turnover (with the stupidest play I think any All Black made the entire world cup) they eventually scored their only points from. That's a 15 point turnaround?!!... He had a very bad day, Stephen Donald was hung drawn and quartered for a lot less in a game that meant very little in 2010 Before the world cup I saw weepu as absolutely critical - I honestly saw him along side Carter, McCaw and some others as the key guys. But In the end we got through and won it without much +ve influence from any of our halfbacks at all. Going in Elis was the clear 3rd halfback but by the end he was the best of the three and did not get much gametime. 2011 world cup win was very much about the great all black pack and the best back three in the world with some credit going to Conrad Smiths defense in mid field and Stephen Donald holding firm in the most important 50min of rugby of his life. Weepu was a total let down outside his goal kicking against Argentina, but we would have won that game anyway with Slade, Cruden or Donald Kicking. [/QUOTE]
