[QUOTE="kiwimeeky, post: 354518, member: 26534"] Poki played well for Tasman but he hasn't done anything special for the Crusaders over the last two seasons (mind you neither has Adam Whitelock and he's still there). I'm not disappointed he's not there, Zach, Izzy and Sean are all the Crusaders need and Tom Marshall will back them up well. On Barrett and Anscombe, I think it is smart to give them another year. Sure there are first fives of a similar age at the Highlanders and Crusaders but that is their choice. To be frank I wouldn't want a franchise like the Hurricanes or Blues developing New Zealand's future first fives anyway. The Blues haven't had a decent pivot since the 2003 Carlos Spencer and the jury is still out on Cruden and the Hurricanes. The Crusaders and Highlanders have at least had recent success with Dan Carter, Colin Slade and Nick Evans [/QUOTE]
