[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 62264"] Yeah that is true Sambad - he did choose to not take many experienced players but decisions to leave some players out were justified. Cullen and Mehrtens were two players that I would liked to have seen in the squad for the world cup. But then neither player really had reputations for leadership certainly not Cullen. And I am a big Cullen fan but I was sick of seeing him miles out of position. He definitely lost a lot of speed as well. The injuries that he got contributed to that. I think that the main reason for the All Blacks loss against Australia in the semi came down to three numbers 2, 8, and 9. The Australians highighted them as potential weak links and went after them. I also think that the number 13 was again unlucky just like four years previous. GH should take one extra centre just to make sure the curse does not hit the All Blacks again. [/QUOTE]
