[QUOTE="Dizzy, post: 509864, member: 21905"] I agree with Nick, Zac Guildford doesn't do enough to be awarded an All Black shirt. Yes I know he is injury cover, and I will admit he's probably one of the best at keeping in support although he wasn't as good in this game, BUT, Guildford can't beat a man one on one which is something that pretty much EVERY NZ outside back is capable of doing. When Dagg gave Guildford that early pass, he could've tried to run back infield or even started running in field before the pass was given, and even the try McFadden scored, where was our cover defense from his wing?.. It was a tired Dagg trying to get back, Guildford was nowhere to be found. And I think Hansen should give Nonu the 12 jersey this week and put SBW on the bench. SBW had a less than average game, he was well handled by the Irish and early in the game found it hard to make the advantage line, the one major handling error he made was something NO All Black should make especially in your own 22m, there was even a time where he took the ball against the run of play to no avail when there was possibly something on out wide, Nonu would have threw a brilliant pass out wide and overall I believe Nonu would have made more opportunities for the backline.
