[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 855114, member: 43875"] the non-selectino of McKenie is insane. hes leading the comp in many stats. His defense is amazing. His goal kicking has been reliable and in particular lately has been very good. He regularly is the difference with the chiefs winning games they could or should have lost. the only real arguments against him are: He's too small - lets face it he is small. But he uses that to his advantage and he uses technique and amazing athletic ability to make up for his size. He's playing 15 when its pretty clear his long term future is at 10. I think this is the only real valid argument to not select him. All Blacks dont want to develop him as a 15 because his future lies at 10 and they cant select him at 10 because he hasn't had enough gametime there. He will be the chiefs 10 next year and that should hopefully see him selected for the AB's as a 10 who can cover 15. With Cruden going hes a good shoe for the EOY tour this year, maybe even the championship. [/QUOTE]
