[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 909080, member: 65365"] the all blacks one is OK. probably only 2 to 4 players off being a full-strength from what is available. I'm going to have to admit I want goodhue not to play too well, because i'm a big fan of ALB who could well lose his place in the pecking order because he hasn't been performing as well as he can and there seems to be a lot of love for goodhue. in saying how much i like ALB I actually would have preferred to see a SBW crotty partnership so that little mac had the opportunity to play with an experienced combo. it's unfortunate little mac didn't play at the same time as nonu and smith to be honest because it would ease his introduction to 10 if he had some playmaking midfielders, and not the sort ALB is as ALB and little mac are as unpredictable as each other resulting in getting themselves tangled up too often. cruden when starting for the canes and all blacks had it really easy fro instance, was able to share playmaking roles while his team was learning his individual style. guys whose style ismore typical like mounga don't need that, they can slot straight in to any team.
