[QUOTE="DavidHolwell'sEars, post: 339821, member: 43830"] How good is David Holwell? He should still be playing Super 14 and he's better than any of the alternatives to Dan Carter for the ABs. Jeez, the experience just oozes out like earwax from him. He dictates the game, amazing ball skills for a 35 year old. Last night, the Lions had to result to shoulder barging him in the face to ensure he had to spend time off in the blood bin. The end result? Capitulation from the Taniwha. It's a damn shame that Wellington had to resort to beating on an OAP who gave the 'Canes years of sterling service in years gone by. Northland conceded 14 points with Holwell off the field and were fighting an uphill battle from then on. And that last penalty? Well, I know they're trying to groom Lachie Munro as Holwell's long term replacement, but use the old fulla for such an important kick. Look, I know we should all pity Munro with his looks that even his mother couldn't love, but the Taniwha have a good chance of finishing in the top 7 if they take their opportunities, so you've got to use Holwell for those key set pieces. EDIT: I was there last night by the way. Sad that the couple of thousand Wellingtonians couldn't drown out the hardy couple of hundy who came down from Whangarei. [/QUOTE]
