[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 588414, member: 38640"] For the Highlanders? Certainly because they had terrible looseforwards. For the Hurricanes? Quite possibly - but that said Shields didn't start all that many games and he's considerably more promising than Levave. But yeah, if he played like he did for the Blues then he would probably have started with the Canes. The point that Invictus got, was that I don't believe talent necessarly equates to starting positions. There is a heap of other factors coaches weigh up which rightly or wrongly mean the best players sometimes miss out. Luatua was lucky that he played for the Blues as there was no incumbant blindside and therefore talent was all that mattered. [/QUOTE]
