well u look at the young guns who have proven there worth ill give a list of those who are considered to be an allblack
nick williams,josh blackie,craig newby,anthony tuitevake,brent ward
when u pick a guy like toeava and say.."well he has potential..and we THINK he will be around that world cup time and he can do this and that.."
what does that say to these players ive mentioned...they dont have potential...and there unlucky?..no such thing as luck
when u pick on form you will build the confidence of those players who have been performing..but they are just throwing yung bucks out there who they THINK can perform when they have sat there all season and watched and KNOW the guys who CAN perform...
im happy with the squad and im happy that they have intrusted in majority of guys who beat the lions..its great they have settled on a team instead of mix matching week in week out...
heres a form team and the squad from lions tourof 35
