I like that side Drizzy, Pocock had a great tri nations, at times he has had greate technique at the breakdown. He won the breakdown battle against McCaw in the first game but McCaw did win every other part of the battle.
But Kaino has been awesome, he was the difference between winning and losing that last game where he earned the name the "difference maker" I'd go as far as to say right now he is a better player than Collins was at his best.
And this is where I have to agree and also disagree.
Kaino has been awesome, another player who hasn't done anything wrong and stuck to the fundamentals. Even though I agree that when he came on the game turned instantly, but I also have considered the fact that Vito was just not the right man for the job. I saw that in the early stages of the game and boy was I screaming at the television.
And when Kaino came on I felt safer, knowing that stupid decisions weren't going to be made by the blindside flanker anymore. Now, in saying that, Kaino was fresh and hungry for play.
We've all seen this before in Dagg when he has substituted late in the game and made a big difference. So that has to be considered as well. Where as, Pocock was consistent which is why he got the pick over Kaino for me.
