[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 392120, member: 24910"] Unless Holah has been in phenomenal form for Ospreys (and it sounds like he hasn't) he will be nowhere near the AB's. I was a big fan of him when he was in NZ, but felt he faded towards the end of his career in NZ - indeed I was not surprised to see Chris Masoe taken ahead of him as McCaw's backup for the 2007 RWC. He is almost 35 - he is clearly past his prime, and the likes of Matt Todd, Dan Braid, Scott Waldrom [I]et al.[/I] will all be far ahead of him in terms of potential AB's openside flankers go. If he is lucky he might make a Super Rugby squad next year (though I wouldn't necessarily count on it). Not saying I'm not happy to see him back - indeed it's great to have players like him back in NZ rugby to share his experience, as there is a dearth of players with his experience, I just don't think he will be anywhere near the AB's!
