[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 768703, member: 57663"] I think there are big question marks over the all round games of Ioane and Ardie. I'm picking they will bring them into the squad early in 2016 and see what they have got and really work on their mental games and off the ball stuff. They are both so young and have so much to learn. Yup Messam is out but Kaino is not (as far as I know). Other than experience, the next biggest hurdle is getting a world class centre pairing ready for the next RWC. There is of course the chance that SBW will be back for 2019, but in the mean time we have quite a few options to try out but none that really jump out at me as certainties. I really like the skill set and physique that Moala brings. He looks to me to be a new Nonu in the making. It remains to be seen if they can mould him into a world class 12 like they did with Nonu (which took well over 4 years). Fekitoa is hugely talented, I hope he steps up!! Lots of talent, just need Hansen an co. to work their magic! Lastly, I've said it before, but if I had it my way McCaw would be in the AB mix for 1 more season!! [/QUOTE]
