[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 356529, member: 44093"] I've always kind of thought if you're good enough you're big enough. Cruden was tiny when he first started for the turbos, and still isn't exactly big and he does alright for himself. For me I think form in the ITM cup trumps form at age grade level; I've got no opinions on Blyendaal, I'm sure he's great, but I've never seen him play. And like you mentioned Kirkpatrick played well in the u20's but has yet to turn that into any sort of form at ITM cup let alone super 15 so I don't think it's as easy as saying "he was great at u20's, he'll be good at super 15". Would've liked to have seen how Anscombe went, I'm not saying he should be a starter but throwing him on in the last 20 or so of a blowout win/loss could surely only help him. Oh well like you say he'll be in the wider squad and is probably only an injury away from being called up. [/QUOTE]
