[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 531500, member: 43875"] looking at the table, it's been a pretty dominating campaign from the All Blacks, and it's been a real team performance as well I think emphasized by the defense. Only letting in 66 points in 6 games, hard for me to look outside the AB squad for a comp 15 Habanna was great, but prob the only reason I'd select him over Gear or Savea is because he obviously had more gametime. Jane being an automatic selection for the 14 spot. Same for hooker, Hore being the best of NZ's two hookers but they very much shared the duties compared to other teams which have a clear #1 choice. Prob room to select a Lock outside the AB squad for the same reason, AB's kinda rotated their locks a bit. Same whitelock had a quiet start while I think he was carrying a flu bug. Sharpe and Eben Etzebeth were very good. I think Romano was a standout, pretty damn impressive how he's come on. Retalick was maybe unlucky not to get more gametime, looked every bit a great test lock when he was on. His tackle rate per time on the park I think is fricken amazing for a lock - he clocks up more tackles than most loose forwards. Maybe look at options at 12, nonu had a slow start but did shine when he needed to. Other than that I'd go for first choice AB's in every position :) [/QUOTE]
