[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 870905, member: 43875"] haha! I know this is a pretty meaningless argument but... from what I can tell Mark played 7 tests and won 5? 71% wins the two losses to AUS were arguably during Australia's golden era of Rugby. Ross played 8 tests only won 4 ? 50% success rate? I think it would be really hard to find another all black with such a low winning %age as Issac Ross. its not only that but during some of these tests the AB lineout was absolutely abominable, we struggled to win any of our own ball. Ross was calling the lineouts (a lot of this should be put on the coaches, bringing in a rookie lock and making him call lineouts was a really bad idea, but at the end of the day Ross was the one on the field and he had a nightmare) carter was eventually a backup/fill-in player, Ross was a starting lock. Honestly I dont remember carter very well I was a kid at the time! [/QUOTE]
