[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 768747, member: 57663"] I think people are getting a little ahead of themselves with Savea and Ioane. They are both huge talents for sure, but there are two things to remmeber. The step up from ITM cup to SR and again to Test match Rugby is huge. These two young fullahs are getting there but there is a long way to go yet. The other thing is that you have to be careful not to get too enamoured with their athleticism (ball carrying, line breaks, off loads etc) and check out what more they offer arround the park. If you watch them closely, they still have a long way to go in that respect. I;m not saying they wont get there, but I think throwing them straight into the starting line up post world cup is a little hasty. In fact I'm near positive it wont happen. There are guys ahead of them to pass the mantle to first. That being said, Hansen brought through a ton of great players post 2011 that didnt play then but are stars now, he will for sure follow the same recipe book this time around as well. [/QUOTE]
