[QUOTE="Sam Owen, post: 660159, member: 43087"] Calm down mate, its my choice and thats who I'd go for. I can understand obviously Ben Smith is the form 15 for the Southren Hemisphere. I'd just be looking to mix things up thats all, a little break from the norm. Carter hasnt been playing 10 in awhile and Cruden has dropped a bit in the standards he's set for himself in the last few years and what we've come to expect of him. So I'd look to bring D.C back up to scratch, straight in the deep end at test match level. Stuff it, I'd just run Fekitoa at 12. See how it goes. Ben Smith at centre brings to the table a kicking centre. Conrads probably a better defender but Ben Smith is so good right now I'd put him anywhere in the backs. So far he pretty much just completes a fancy looking backline. Savea and Piutau on the wings. 2 good finishers, who are very difficult to put down. I think with Dagg at the back of this kind of backline, he can only shine. He's got that long punt and he goes good when he's in black. Thats why I'd go for that backline, a bit fancy and different from what everyone else would predictably go for. One things for sure is that its a good backline. [/QUOTE]
