[QUOTE="welshglory, post: 527037, member: 38673"] 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. He is the best option Australia have at 12 at the moment except for Tapuai. Harris isn't good enough imo, he's a good bench option because he covers a lot of positions but he doesn't really have any stand out strengths to his game. 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. 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. [/QUOTE]
