[QUOTE="ACT1NUP, post: 432644, member: 47554"] Nonus defence isn't that bad, so he had an off game on defence, most do at some point. Using one game is hardly a case against Nonus defence. Just remember who has been the starting 12 for sometime. ABs have never been thrashed, hardly concede many tries, and infact barely lost. Nonu can't be that bad if he has played a large part in all of that and I don't see teams specfically targeting him as a weak link. What happened in the Smit try has happened and there could be a number of reasons as to why it happened. If Nonu charged Smit with Carter they may have stopped him, but then they would have probably scored on the next phase but really we'll never know. Be intersting to see how Williams goes against one of the more experienced midfield combinations in world rugby he needs a massive game to even get a second thought. In all reality though Nonu and Smith have the 12 and 13 jerseys locked in for the world cup. [/QUOTE]
