[QUOTE="d1e1m, post: 368593, member: 40554"] 1 - Ben Franks can play both sides, very strong scrummager and part of the new breed of props who keep up with the loosies 2 - Cory Flynn is weakest of the pack because he is prone to injuries and lapses in form. Lineout is his biggest weakness but good in support play 3 - Owen Franks think he's a bit insane, he always looks a little to excited to be scrummaging. one of the best tightheads in the world, very strong and like his bro, very good in support and running the ball. Prone to knockons 4 - BRAD THORN (cause I always see him howling) the enforcer, always good for a hit on Habana, will need to be managed but you rarely see him not go ballsout for 80 min. 5 - Sam Whitelock /with Chris Jack not too far behind plus Whitelock can also shift to 6 should the need arise, very athletic. 6 - Matt Todd - rate him over George Whitelock, like McCaw, his name is mentioned at least 100 times a game. 7 - King Richie 8 - Kieran Read - my favorite player, on form for the last 3 years, arguably best 8 in the world right now and he is still improving. Granted, this leaves Saders playing with 2 specialist opensides but the new laws make the old enforcer 6 obsolete. Saders have Thorn, Franks Bros, Read, Fruean and SBW, all players who can and will give crashball. Don't get me wrong, Choo CHoo train Waldrom was quality crash but I will always prefer Read over him. You've forgotten that the Franks and Read worked the Boks all over the field during the TN, and they weren't exactly dominated by the opposing pack. Our weakest position is probably Flynn who has never been able to hold form but he's not a bad player. [/QUOTE]
