[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 723444, member: 38640"] Meh. Conrad and Nonu are playing some of the best rugby in their careers, particularly Nonu. Looking like 2008 Nonu. McCaw is never going to look bad at international level. Maybe Cane would be the better player, but to be honest I'd imagine McCaw will probably play his socks off come the RWC. Daniel Carter will make the squad, which I'm not unhappy about. Having a 100 test caps of experience isn't going to hurt having around when you also have Barrett and Slade, who haven't got half of that collectively. Giving a guy like Carter some warm up games is probably only going to help him build up confidence. I'd be very surprised to see many guys who haven't been in the squad being selected - it's not like Hansen has always picked the best form guys, more guys who work well within the gameplan. I think England's big fault has been selecting whoever is 'in form' and dropping them on half a bad game - resulting in basically no combinations. [/QUOTE]
