Sailor was a beast first of all and Gerrard was a proven top class performer on the wing for the Brumbies, plus he had a great kicking game. McCabe is not an international winger, i don't care how anyone tries to justify it he is not up to it. And again i did say tend to, as in not all of the time. Since 2008 what big Australian wingers can you think of except for Tuqiri? It doesn't really matter anyway because McCabe isn't good enough to push any of the other candidates out.
I didn't say McCabe should be Australia's winger. Just saying that he's not too slow to be. McCabe
Compared to the likes of Savea, Habana/Pietersen/Mvovo, Ioane, Cuthbert, Shane Williams, Imhoff isn't that quick. I'm talking about raw out and out sprinting pace.
You are wrong here. Perhaps you haven't seen much of him but he is as quick, and probably quicker than most of those names. Can't believe you are citing Digby Ioane, Lwazi Mvovo and Shane Williams as players who make him look "not that quick". I reckon you are just saying that as he is an Argentine and used to slower wingers like Agulla and Camacho, but Imhoff is different, he is an athlete.

Go to 2:26 on this video, from starting slightly behind Imhoff outpaces the Sharks last defender. Some of the players you mentioned would have been caught.

Go to 2:54 on this video, Imhoff is chased by Marcel Garvey (a player often touted as being quick) who chases but doesn't close the gap at all.
His out and out pace is certainly an asset, and can hold his own with most of those wingers you mentioned, and would probably be quicker than some of them as well.
Camacho would be too slow for NZ, SA, Wales, Ireland (They've got fast wings now, Horgan brought physical presence and he was a great player for Leinster. Has Camacho ever stood out for Exeter or Quins? No, i didn't think so), England (Cueto was a great tactical kicker and had lots of experience, probably shouldn't have been selected for his last 2 seasons), France, Samoa and Fiji, even Scotland with Visser nowadays.
Apart from defence, at a push there's no reason why you would pick him above any of those nations wings. You've continuously critiqued Camacho throughout the whole of the RC and a hell of a lot before it so i don't why you're suddenly talking him up.
Camacho is not "too slow" for those countries, he's not good enough for them, there's a difference. And I reckon he may have got caps for Wales and possibly Ireland as a reserve for injuries just not been first choice. And certainly could have got in the Scotland team ahead of Lee Jones.
You are also trying to say I have been rubbishing Camacho which is false. I just identified that he has a weakness in terms of pace, line breaking, try scoring ability, and ability to magic something out of nowhere. His try scoring record is poor, even if he has been playing well.
But I have also identified his strengths as well, he is one of the best defenders for his size, is sometimes hard to hold onto and wriggles a few metres here and there (and has been getting involved much better this RC than in last year's RWC). And given him credit that he's performed well this tournament, and has shown his best form in a Pumas shirt and outplayed Agulla who coming into the tournament had come off his best club season and was the more senior winger.
So I haven't rubbished him at all. Just identified an area of his game he isn't so strong in.
