[QUOTE="Dizzy, post: 466341, member: 21905"] Don't listen to this fool. First of all, in the modern game, players can be shifted around, especially when it affects the type of game the coaches are trying to play. Which was to have safe men under the high ball and in Jane and Kahui you could go no further. Now if you want to say "But why aren't NZ's specialist wingers able enough to take the high ball? It shows poor depth blah blah blah" then I will want to say "You're just being stupid" and "If you have two players able enough to play on the wing under those circumstances and they play the role suited for the game plan better than the rest then why would I not select them in my World Cup squad?" Second of all, you don't even need 20 wingers so asking for 20 names just shows how poor your arguement is. Why don't you give me 20 Argentinian names who could force out 20 NZ wingers?. As for us having poor depth in the locking department, that also is a poor statement. You're going to compare one of Argentina's top locks against one of NZ's 1800th in line? We aren't under any trouble in the locking department either. We've got Williams, Boric, Whitelock, Donnelly, Thrush, Broadhurst the up and coming Brodie Retallick is destined for the All Black jersey and even Jason Eaton could produce some more of that magnificient form we saw in his earlier years this season. So again, Why don't you give me 20 Argentinian names who could force out 20 NZ wingers?. I guess I should go watch the three LOTR movies and then come back in hopes that you could conjur up something. [/QUOTE]
