[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 103269"] Smells like kinda Blue... still can't argue with the line up. ONE thing though... Hamilton, last year I reckon he was one of the most abused players on the forum (OK outside of Shane Williams for Wales, but in this Hemisphere). This year he's looking pretty good... good try tally so far and his positional play is getting better. Who's got the goods on David Smith? age, where's he from and where's he going? also he doesn’t look to big... looks like he's got a lot of pace though. Any info appreciated. Got to agree with you about Toeava, he was stuff all from scoring two tries last weekend... he's just getting better and better (last year’s international season where he had issues catching a ball at critical moments is almost forgotten). Big talent, fingers crossed he gets to mature in the 13 jersey. The only player based on round 4 that I wouldn't put forth would be Braid, Blackies performance against the Stormers was just exceptional, he made something like 11 tackles and 4 lineout wins. Other than that... I really thought that having 22 quality players sitting on the collective bums, soaking up the rays, drinking those multi coloured drinks with the little umbrellas, discussing future lucrative offshore contracts would really put New Zealand Rugby in a seriously compromised position. How wrong was I? We all know that players like Toeava, McAlister, Nacewa, Flavell, Afoa and Flynn are all a class act, but for mine the other players listed here really do deserve a pat on the back. Good on them for stepping up. [/QUOTE]
