[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1097531, member: 65365"] I'm a canes fan, so I like laumape, but he really didn't deliver too well for the all blacks . And even though we are struggling right now and could do with some go forward in the midfield, I still wouldn't have picked him for this test. As a combo with ione we would really be lacking ball skills. With goodhue or alb could work, but both are currently injured. If havili had experience at 13, that could work too. Man, it makes you realise how lucky we were with injuries when nonu and Conrad were in the midfield. (Remember when Conrad got injured and they shifted Ben smith to centre? Despite how great Ben smith is that didn't really work too well.) Speaking of havili, I agree he has had some issues at international level, and for sure not scary. Great player though in my opinion - has all the traits you want in an all black - the smarts, the skills, the cool head. But i can't see any 13 in NZ he would make a great international level combo with; he'd make a good but not great combo with an umaga jensen. With Someone like many tuilagi people would be singing his praises. [/QUOTE]
