[QUOTE="Zapphod, post: 516147, member: 57286"] I recall that as well which is nice but I am not sure he will be at the next world cup as our starting 10, he will be what 32-33? With the abundance of good young players vying for his position I think it will be hard for him to retain the position. [FONT=Verdana]Not so sure about that two thirds of those who have responded so far (5 out of 9) seem to prefer the option.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]Yeah he is overrated and overhyped and sadly over here, I think it is also debatable whether he is the form 12 in NZ at the moment.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]I will concede that he is probably in the top 5 number 12s in the country right now but given the amount of time and money spent on the team around him and the training he has been given at All Black level he is not head and shoulders above the other four. [/FONT] Personally I don't think he was a bad player but I really don't think he was the great player that all his sycophants made him out to be, in my opinion he remains the Paris Hilton of New Zealand rugby, famous for being famous and not for any outstanding talent.
