[QUOTE="nik, post: 455135, member: 12284"] Kahui over Guilford. I would much rather have a classy all round player like Kahui over an out and out finisher. Guilford is always in support and when given space with ball in hand he is the best finisher in the AB team with the line in front. However knockout games there wont be much space. You will need tough players. Defensively and under the high ball Kahui reins supreme. If I was ABs coach I would go for experience over youth (unless they are exceptional e.g. DAGG). All the players in the squad are playing well. So why not opt for experience? Hence I believe this backline should start against Argentina. 9 Cowan 10 Weepu 11 Kahui 12 Nonu 13 Smith 14 Jane 15 Dagg To me this back line looks solid yet enterprising. Lets see if the coaches have the balls to start weepu at 10, if they do I will applaud them. I thought a Weepu Slade combination would be fine. But now getting closer to QF and the last 10 mins of the Canada game. I think Weepu offers much more at 10 than Slade. He has the ability to put players into space, better at kicking for teritorry and goal kicking. [/QUOTE]
