[QUOTE="Ripper, post: 167206"] Carters problem is that he seems to have been bitten by the injury bug in the last 12 months, and was unhealthy for the quarter final. A Fit Carter letting rip will still be better than any other alternative in the world. He didn't have the chance to take the game by the scruff of the neck has he was limping off around the same time as Kellehar so we had Leonard (an inexperience Halfback, although he didn't disgrace himself in the situation) and Evans, and later our 3rd Fly Half of the game McAlister who hasn't had a good game in the Fly Half spot since saving the AB's in the 05 Tri Nations from Panadol. The thing which screwed the All Blacks the most apart from that useless English Tosser (God I hope the rumours of him reffing the AB/Irish test in Wellington next year are true) was the fact we had our 3rd Choice Fly Half playing in the crunch. If Evans hadn't gone off I would've bet my own mother that we would've won, whenever he touched the ball the French Defense line seemed to on AWOL. Also, what hasn't been talked about much is Toeava, if he hadn't missed that game at the MCG and put in a solid performance he probably would've sealed the 13 Jersey after he shut down Mortlock in the Bledisoe Decider, but he had to pull out, and the Cartel felt they hadn't seen enough (which they probaly would've if he had put in 2 good performances against Mortlock rather than just the one) so they kept trying to bring back Conrad Smith, neglected Toeava, so when Smith bombed (which anyone with half a brain should've saw coming after doing nothing in his 8 minutes in the Tri Nations and looking like **** against sub standard NPC Teams) we had to put Mils there. Toeava only touched the ball twice in the quarter final, but those two touches he ran at the line more dangerously than the other two 13's had shown all year. And the French tries weren't brillant. One was a foward pass, and the other was a simple overlap which any decent team worth their salt should score when facing a team with a man in the bin. McAlister's try was much better (Jauzion is still his ***** no matter the result) [/QUOTE]
