[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 427156, member: 24910"] Have to say I don't really like the look of the AB's wings - not the players individually, but rather the combination. I think the AB's tactic of picking a second fullback on the right wing has been very successful - though Sivivatu does at times display some good fullback skills, he is at his best when he is free to roam around. Sivivatu has never impressed me when he has played on the right wing either. I do understand why they are starting Sivivatu and Gear, I just worry the the AB's may be a bit exposed out wide defensively. I'm also a bit worried about the lack of fullback cover in the team - if Muliaina suffers and early injury we will likely see Slade at fullback (or SBW at 12, Nonu on the wing, Sivivatu at fullback...). While I'm sure Slade could do a adequate job, when we get Toeava back in the squad I will feel a lot more comfortable! [/QUOTE]
