[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 769106, member: 12312"] The All Blacks are losing many players with vast experience after this cup, enough to damage the team in my opinion. I know almost all the replacements have significant test game-time, but to be honest, I'm not sure how well they'd all do as a large new incoming combination at once. Sam Cane is ready for most things, but it didn't take much to see that he wasn't great against South Africa in that semi. Having him alongside 5 other new [B]regulars[/B] will be hard to make become a cohesive unit. Combinations have to work. If McCaw was to have another season as a transitioning phase, with Cane getting much more game time, (perhaps having Richie come off the bench in some games of lesser concern rather than start) it'd be a good idea. You can't say goodbye to all of that experience from so many players and expect to have a World Cup defended as well as it was last time. [/QUOTE]
