[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 512161, member: 38640"] I agree in the sense that I'm not overly unhappy about Ali Williams not being avalible (although I'd bet a lot of money he'll be in the Tri Nations squad), as I think he avoids the tight work and has an overinflated sense of his own value. On top of that he has pretty poor discipline. That being said, he is still bigger than both Hoeata and Crosswell by quite a bit, he just doesn't do the grunt that hey do. I'm against picking both Hoeata and Crosswell as well to be honest. Hoeata is 28 years old so should be in his prime now, but still seems to have massive discipline problems. He not especially big either, as he's 6'4'' and 112kgs, which is 3'' and 3kgs smaller than Ali Williams. Crosswell has got a very good work ethic but is a bit lighter still than Hoeata and I don't think he'd compete that well at international level, especially at lock. For me if they call in another lock I'd go with Josh Bekhuis who is almost perfecty suited for test rugby and is only 26 or even reward Craig Clarke. [/QUOTE]
