[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 942168, member: 65365"] I'm not convinced on Nonu at this stage. he simply isn't as agile, sharp, and fit anymore. he is a freak, so he still has immense explosive power whcih is crazy for his age, or any age really. But he has made some defensive errors and his passing hasn't been accurate (nothing horrendous, just regularly a foot or so off, instead of being nicely out in front of the man) and i worry he will run out of steam. But I'll be happy to change my mind if he continues to prove himself. On the third first five situation, I think we have to wait and see how the rest of the super rugby season plays out. I would hope that if Jordie was an option that the message would be given to the canes coaches to give him some game time there; instead, TJ was the reserve first five in their game last night, which might mean the All Blacks coaches want to look at him as an option. Jordie at the moment is also just a risk in general, in any position. he does too many stupid things. if he improves on that, and gets game time at 10 that would be great. I like Otere Black, but he just doesn't have the ability to get enough distance on his territorial kicks to be a test level player, imo. I know cruden didn;t get much distance at the start of his career, but he was very special in otehr areas. Josh Ione might continue to improve. [/QUOTE]
