[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 448209, member: 43875"] he has played ~98 test matches I really don't think that's an issue for such an experienced player. I'm 99% sure he will be selected. He knows what test rugby is about and more importantly he knows what test rugby against France as an all black is all about I do see the point about Williams and the wing but at the same time Jane had ~44 min against "Japan B" and did almost nothing - Williams got into the game in a big way and made an impact. I kinda have a feeling Jane will be given one more run to produce the goods, but I doubt the coaches would have giving SBW a run on the wing if they did not see that as an option for him. They are obviously keen to have Nonu and SBW involved in the games. And I personally don't see SBW as a "risky" player. His defense is solid, he has great hands, his offloads don't find opposition hands very often and the vast majority when they do go to ground it's because a teammate didn't take the pass. I think SBW is a very safe player for the number of genuine points scoring chances he creates on attack. [/QUOTE]
