[QUOTE="cwans, post: 86120"] Agreed about Umaga. Although mind you if we were now to select centres based on form, and Umaga didnt say he's retired, he probably won't make the team. He hasn't shown that he is the best centre out of all the centres this year. I'd still say we need to 'blood' a bolter for end of year tour. We already know Toe ava is crap at international level, so how about putting nonu on the wing for end of year tour, and picking Kahui and Tuituvake for centres. Smith is unlucky to NOT make the side as MacLister can't bump off Mauger for the 12 berth. This is how I see the team going into the end of year tour. Against France (for both games) 15 Mils 14 Nonu 13 Tuituvake OR Kahui (play both each half? This would be ultimate acid test against the greatest threat to our world cup aspirations) 12 Mauger 11 Sivivatu 10 Carter 9 Kelleher 8 Collins 7 McCaw 6 Lauaki 5 Jack 4 Ryan Or Eaten Or Keith Robinson!!! :P 3 Hayman 2 MEalamu 1 Woodcock Every position in the starting fifteen is set in stone pretty much apart from 13 and 4 In my mind anyways those are the two positions lacking a clear cut best player. What I'm glad about is that we have a settled front row. Mike Cron's credit? [/QUOTE]
