[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 520706, member: 38640"] Good point, except Nick Evans and Luke McAlister were Carter's age or older (as apposed to a 7 and 9 year gap). It's three more years, which is about the same as many players take before they become first choice. Daniel Carter has already signed with the NZRU till 2015, so that's not an issue. I believe he does have a sebatical in his contract, but for only a season or so. So it comes down to Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett staying, which I can't see them leaving before 2015 and I doubt they're likely to leave when they're the first choice 1st 5/8ths. The timing of the players is just at the point where we're alright, no matter the outcome. The other option is one of the three moving to second 5/8th, even if that eventually becomes Carter, as that's a position we're short in. I have no doubt we'll see some experimentation of Cruden 10-Carter 12 within the next year. [/QUOTE]
