[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 385251, member: 33219"] yeh Jericho, you're right about Beast changing the game. I've been saying this for a couple of years now, but it's high time John Smit hung up his boots. He was a world class hooker, but when you have du Plessis, who is arguably the best in the world, you don't need anyone else. So they stick him in at prop - and he's a distinctly average prop. I thought McLeod looked like a useful little scrumhalf in a backline that didn't really get going for the Sharks. It was all about Alberts and his carrying, which was excellent. Player wise for Crusaders, it's frightening. The pack, even missing McCaw, looks like an international one. The backline the same. We all know about Dan Carter, nothing more needs to be said. I never joined the SBW hype machine, but you cannot deny what he produces every time he plays - it is, in a word, [I]special. [/I]Yesterday was no different, and as far as world 12s go the gap between Williams/ Nonu and the rest of them is huge. Shame I didn't get to see too much of Fruean, because he was the guy I was most excited about, but never mind. The back 3 of Guildford, Dagg and Maitland all looked like they could happily slot in to any other side in the world as well... and then I remembered the Janes, Muliainas, Gears, Sivis, Saveas and Rokocokos of this world. awesome.
