[QUOTE="ShowMe, post: 84610"] I thought the switch was injury forced with ellison subbed, cory jane dropped back to cover fullback, nonu shifted out to wing and umaga to centre. I reckon nonu shouldnt be on the wing at all, he doesnt have the pace for that position especially with the speed merchants running around not just in our country but in world rugby these days....Hes got explosive acceleration over the first 10 metres but after that hes vulnerable and sprinters will track him down easily not to mention when on defence. Even though this will never happen, I rekon McAllister is the answer at centre. I reckon hes the closest to what weve been used to with umaga at centre with the right balance of explosiveness and playmaker to parter mauger. But for the short term - as in the world cup next year...muliaina looks to be the most practical option. Hes proven himself more than any other centre-hopeful after umagas departure... This ofcourse not eventuating if umaga comes out of international retirement answering graham henrys desperate, passionate SOS for one last hurrah! bahaha...dreams are for free! [/QUOTE]
