[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 522576, member: 38640"] Disagree with much of the highlighted points. Stowers looked deadily in his last few games, one of the very rare opperunities that he got to start and play some significant game time. I personally prefer him in 7's because I think he's amazing there, but there is no doubt he's the best winger the Blues now have in my mind. Tim Mikkilson, as we've mentioned many many times before, is a fulltime 7's player, whom is not going to be playing Super Rugby. He's never really looked any where near as good in the ITM Cup as he has at 7's, where he's on of the best players in the circut. Mike Harris maybe should have been selected more, but I don't think he's THAT good. I'd take Nonu at 2nd 5/8th over him anyday and I'm hoping Anscombe gets more time at 10. Alby Mathewson does not need to go. At all. Looked better than Piri Weepu every game last year for the Blues. Got one of the best running games of any halfback, very good defense for a small guy and a quick and accurate pass. Never gets himself out of shape for a season like Weepu either. To top it off, he's still only 26, so hardly worth throwing away like you're content with. [/QUOTE]
