[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 813140, member: 43875"] I guess we will never know exactly what the issue is between Hansen & Elliot. He obviously did something wrong way back in ~2010, hes come back put his hand up and been humble but it seems that bridge is burned. I think given the chance Elliot would do well, cant see it happening though. sucks for Lowe too. while he didn't have a good finish to the season generally he would run rings around Savea, the last few rounds of super rugby Lowe just looked like he needed a couple of weeks R&R. The selectors have their reasons though, its not enough to just be the form player or the best in your position. They look for traits & Skills that they need to go with their gameplan. Lowe seems good all round though, fine under the high ball and defends well to complement his great footwork and energy on attack. And he has the added bonus of an insane kicking game. Can pull off epic kicks to gain 50+ meters and completely turn territory on a regular basis and hes pretty much the only winger in NZ who can pull that off. I personally cant see where the AB selectors go wrong with Lowe. fast, big, agile, great skillset and still quite young as he has only just turned 24... And I dont think we have seen his best yet either, he's still improving with experience. I wasn't always sold on him but now I think its kinda silly hes not in the AB's even before the injuries struck... Now Jane is overseas, we have two frontline wingers injured another in crap form and Lowe still isn't there... Insane. [/QUOTE]
