[QUOTE="nam97, post: 133352"] How is Mealamu utter shite at the set piece? His scrums are solid and only his throwing is scratchy. No one is as dynamic in open play as Mealamu, that includes all non-hookers. Flannery was replaced by Best as he came back from injury and recently Ireland have been going for more scrum power in Best. Just like with NZ picking Oliver over Mealamu. Doesn't mean he isn't playing well. Your not talking sense, it's like me saying that full backs are utter shite these days as the likes of Cullen and Blanco are a distant memory and no one comes close (they don't, not even Latham). Also, I would hardly categorize Phil Kerans and Steve Thompson in a league of their own, Mealamu and Oliver are just as good. Thompson = couldn't throw straight, so why bag Mealamu for it? Mealamu is also much more prominent and effective around the park than Thompson Kearns and Oliver are similar, both very good scrummagers. So I honestly can't understand what you are saying, doesn't make sense. [/QUOTE]
