[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 692683, member: 44093"] I think Piutau is our second best winger. He was fantastic on the weekend. He can also play fullback bloody well. I don't think 4 first fives is needed at all, especially given the versatility of Ben Smith and Piutau. It will of course depend on injuries and to a lesser extent form in Super XV, but you would have to think if they take Carter + Cruden they'll only take one of Barrett/Slade (Barret foe me is ahead of Slade). Or if Cruden/Carter gets injured then you would only need one of Barrett/Slade and you could fit in Piutau and Jane (or whichever players are in form). It's so funny how public perception works and how short memory's are. I read the comments on stuff and people act as though Slade has been coming on and winning us games for years.. He was one Nic White brain explosion, and one Fekitoa break and try away from being the new Stephen Donald, missing touch and costing us a game against Aus. Forgive me if I am a little sceptical on him being an automatic selection for the world cup squad. [/QUOTE]
