[QUOTE="dan the man, post: 520031, member: 43015"] A pretty solid squad named. Pleased to see Crockett in there... (Woodcock wont be around for ever) I really hope that Messam has a great season! He's been a stand out Loose Forward during the SupeRugby, and seems to have matured hugely over the past few years. He also has a bit more mongrel than the others, his style is similar to Kaino's so it would be awesome to see him start at 6 alongside Read and McCaw. Personally i would've taken Ellis ahead of Weepu. But Weepu at his best is better than Ellis, and i guess Hansen's job now is to get the best out of him. Very pleased that Ali Williams wasn't included! Even if it is because of fitness, he hasn't looked all that good since his return to NZ, and has been selected because there have been little competition. Glad to see some new blood in the Locking role. Something that could be interesting (once SBW is gone) would be to start Cruden at 10 and Carter at 12, they'll probably give this a try against Argentina. Anyway, looking forward to the Rugby Championship! and starting home and away against the Wallabies is gonna be Awesome! I just hope that Argentina are genuinely competitive and maybe even win a game :D the Kiwi's and Aussies may find it hard to play them at home so the Argentina home games will be quite interesting to watch!
