[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 478055, member: 24910"] Gill got called back to play for the Reds half-way through the tournament, as they had quite a few injuries in their loosies. It was a bit disappointing, as I was looking forward to watching him matchup vs Cane in the semi-finals. Gill's linking game looked pretty good to me - I'm sure we will see a lot more of him this year with the Reds. Yeah that is the general feeling in NZ too. Anscombe is an exceptional kicker, but Barrett is thought of as the player with more potential (and is actually a 10, despite playing very well at 15 during the U20 RWC). Anscombe and Barrett played directly against each other during last seasons ITM Cup, and Barrett looked by far the more complete player in that game (he was man of the match in a comprehensive 39-11 victory.). Both players look like they will get plenty of game-time this Super Rugby season: Anscombe will possibly be backing up Weepu at Blues (though may start with Weepu at halfback), while Barrett looks the favourite to start at 10 for the Hurricanes (though could get time at fullback too). We seem to play them a lot at schoolboy level, but for some reason don't at Under 20's level. [/QUOTE]
