[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1163897, member: 65365"] Yeah I kinda feel like the number of the transition players will be limited and the transition phase will be short. Who would they even be? Savea (who I doubt will stick around, reckon he'll play for samoa next wc), cane (can't see razor picking him - he's fozzies man), tuipolotu (doubt it), Harmon (to your point doesn't have international experience anyway), ofa (not even a starter), moody (is 35), akira (doubt it, not even in favour with Ryan presumably). In conclusion possibly there is no one they will pick who they don't think is a realistic chance if making the next World Cup Compared to last time around South Africa, Ireland, and Argentina will all be losing quite a bit of top level talent (also depending on how they do their transitions to some extent) so I think we can afford to be more risky with selections. Plus all the firsts have already been accomplished so there is less to hang onto. As long as we don't lose to Scotland, but I can't see that happening. France is the biggest threat, presuming they keep their coaches. If they toured us next year for example, and we had an overly fresh side, that would be a massive challenge. [/QUOTE]
