[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 387218, member: 43875"] I dont think Mills is under too much pressure. The main thing for him and some other key all blacks is to maintain fitness and string some games together towards the end of the super15, that goes for the likes of McCaw, Carter, Read, Kaino, Thorn, Cowan, Mills, Woodcock, Mealamu Look at mills the last few of years. People have come out and said he was "past it" then he's come in and played brilliantly for the AB's. And IMO he now has a reputation as a player who peaks at the "end of the year" as he has done for the last 3 years. And this year the "end of the year" just happens to be world cup time! The one main bad point with the current situation is that last year he spent time out with a hand injury in super rugby. With an injury like that he obviously did a lot of work on his running and speed and he came back with blistering pace. A back injury is a different beast all together. It will be much harder for him to maintain or improve areas of his fitness with the back injury he has right now. [/QUOTE]
