[QUOTE="ranger, post: 338455, member: 40555"] Yeah prop is a bit of a concern, especially with the coaches persisting with John Afoa without really specifying what position he plays or giving him any game time..Charlie Faumauina looks the goods for an AB jersey later on but the selectors have probably missed their opportunity to get him in the squad before the cup. Between O. Franks, B. Franks, Woodcock, Tialata and Macintosh they should be alright. As for lock i dont think there are any problems actually. Donelly, Thorn, Whitelock, Boric with Ali Williams and Jason Eaton coming back from injury. If those two dont make it theres Bekhuis who is still playing well enough for a black jersey and Chris Jack who seems like the perfect candidate for the last locking spot. He could provide leadership in the squad and maybe even captain the team for the games against the minows. At 10 we finally have another real contender now that Slade is getting extended time in the 10 jersey. Delaney coming back is an interesting prospect as he probably had the inside running over Cruden this year. There is also a chance that Luke McAllister will see the writing on the wall with the midfield depth and put the hard yards in before the super 14 to work on becoming an actual 10. If the worst comes to the worst Piri Weepu did an awesome job of getting the backline going in the last test, he has the ability to be a backup 1st five. All in all im not too concerned about the depth really. As long as McCaw, Conrad and Carter stay healthy that is [/QUOTE]
