[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 520975, member: 24910"] Personally I rate Vito ahead of Thomson, as I think his style of play is better suited to test rugby (or, perhaps more importantly, his style of play is more suited to what the All Blacks need out of their blindside flanker). I do think Thomson is very underrated by many though - he has a massive work-rate, a brilliant aerial game (something that is very important against the likes of South Africa), and is very solid in defense. For me I (just) have Vito as my 1st choice AB's 6 (as I think in general he has looked the most comfortable at test level), followed by Messam, then Thomson, but I really don't think there is much at all between all three of them!
