[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 520700, member: 38640"] Thought a lot about this. Yes. Yes I want him playing till the next World Cup, or at least until the two other options are significantly better tan him. He's the best 1st 5/8th of all time, and I don't think four more years is going to diminsh that. He has a very good running game atm which may be effected, but his vision, kicking and leadership are unlikely to faulter. I'd be happy with him to continue starting, with Aaron Cruden (who will be 26) and Beauden Barrett (24) getting oppertunities to push for selection. Either way, last World Cup we were down to our 4th choice 1st 5/8th. There is really no downside to keeping the best 1st 5/8th (who will be 33, not 34) of all time active, especially considering some players like Contepomi have played some of their best rugby at the same age. It's different from wing. [/QUOTE]
