[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 150617"] Yeah Brodizzle, exactly. The ELV's require highly skilled and mobile packs. Might hinder the South African patterns a bit. Kicking for territory is alot harder when you can't pass back into the 22. New laws would suit the Blues and Hurricanes quite well. But I'm going to be honest, its very hard to look past the Crusaders. Even after the Shield game. They lose Rico Gear Chris Jack and Aaron Mauger. But welcome back Carter, McCaw, Thorne, McDonald, Ali Williams. Sommerville and Ellis. Thats half an All Black team of difference. Might need to find some new wing talent though. Auckland can look forward to the return of Woodcock, Mealamu, Rokocoko and Toeava. But lose Howlett, Tuitupo, Rawlinson, Ali Williams, Angus McDonald, Steve Devine and Luke McAlister. That's some very important talent leaving. And includes 2 locks and 2 No12's. The power and mobilty of both the Hurricanes and Chiefs loose forwards will be hard to handle. As will the Canes tight5. The Canes are a star No10 short of an amazing team. But thats a big hole to have. Personally, I still have doubts around the Force's pack. The young loosies will need to start getting on top of opposition. But the backline will be looking good. [/QUOTE]
