[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 423884, member: 24910"] I thought Thomson played fine in the few times he moved to number 8 for the Highlanders this year. He was outstanding when he played at number 8 for Otago before he was injured in last years ITM Cup too. I'm actually much more comfortable with Thomson at 8 than at 7 (though Thomson did do a good job when he moved to the openside against Fiji). I believe McCaw and Thomson will both play off the back of the scrum at times - if they are in their 22 McCaw may be used to crash up a few meters, while in attacking position they may try to use Thomson's pace off the back off the scrum. I just read that Sivivatu wasn't considered this week [URL="http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/5353377/Henrys-eight-expectations"]due to a knee injury.[/URL] [/QUOTE]
