[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 446973, member: 43400"] SBW got so much game time on the right wing because A/ The All Blacks had the game won already, and B/ Graham Henry needed to know if he could play there OF THE BENCH, if required, as it determined whether he can put him on the bench for future games. I would be very surprised if he started there in any match ... the three backs from on the bench could very well look like: Slade, the reserve half back, and SBW (with Slade covering 10 and 15, and SBW covering 11,12,13, and 14) ... I agree, it would be very unwise/a big risk to start SBW on the wing ... although Henry may be tempted against Canada [/QUOTE]
