[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 595288, member: 43875"] they are all only 22, they all have different strengths and weaknesses. Luatua clearly has the running in the current pecking order and has done well with the chances hes been given. Long term they will probably all get chances. Of them Shields definitely has a dash of x-factor about him with his straight running game that could give him an edge in the future while he rounds out the rest of his game. I dont think anyone can deny those observations. For mine, Luke is obviously not that far down the pecking order, personally I can see why hes clearly in the fringe All Black category right now - making training camps and extended squads. They are the next generation, much like Messam, Kaino, Vito and Thomson have battled for game time since Collins. one thing is for sure, we shouldn't be talking about blindside flanker in a thread about weak positions for the All Blacks, or anything to do with loose forwards. Talk about spoilt for tallent! [/QUOTE]
