[QUOTE="james5000, post: 466280, member: 53353"] To a point size has got absolutely nothing to do with defence, especially when you weigh in the region of 90kg. If you weigh 85kg-90kg, you should be able to tackle any one, Nanai-Williams and Robinson must be in this category. I actually don't think Nanai-Williams is that bad on D. Might have to wait till next year to really see how good he is. He hasn't been bad at all when I have watched him. I can't wait to see Rudi play next year, I think his ratio's might shrink a little bit myself. According to blues website he has 18 tries in 43 games, which is a ratio of slightly under 0.42, which is lower than the 0.45 (19/42) ratio you have previously stated. ([URL]http://www.theblues.co.nz/Players/130-Rudi-Wulf.aspx[/URL]). (Don't know which is more accurate, but both are still good ratio's.) I honestly think Piri will be average at 10 next year, and I think it may ruin him. He will become a utility player and he will not be starting 9 for the AB's next year. IMO its a silly career decision to make, he had just claimed the number 9 position as his own and now is going to throw it away. NZ div my guess Crusaders Blues Chiefs Highlanders Hurricanes I think Hurricanes will play better than people are giving them credit for but will still come last. I am guessing that the table will be very even, with not many points separating the bottom 3 positions. [/QUOTE]
