[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 693963, member: 20892"] Although I don't think anyone would suggest your conclusion is incorrect, I think it's worth considering that Smith has been playing almost 80 minutes every week at international level for the last three years. Perenara (and almost all other halfbacks) have not had anywhere near that level of exposure. It's also worth considering that Smith's style is very much suited to the All Blacks' game plan. Would he necessarily be equally as effective for Scotland, or Wales? Would a different style - such as Perenara's - be more useful when you haven't got a dominant pack or backline? [/QUOTE]
