[QUOTE="Sparty, post: 437825, member: 43218"] Cool , Some people though seems to think we should play to entertain their needs ? I really don't get that. Anyway , in my humble opinion I do feel the loss of the ABS this weekend is maybe a good wakeup call , every time they go into WC too confident with some of the best 30 players on the planet and often they dont choose their best 15 and all it takes is for one team to play like the French or the Aussies today and in 2003 to bring them down back to earth. I do feel Henry might have erred in his selections , for example no crocket ? Dagg for 15 ? I think he def should start ? What about the wingers you left out ? Your loosies seems unbalanced a little as well and why Nono ahead of SBW ? Pity we could not see how SBW measure in test rugby before the WC. Also , seriously where is the NZ halfbacks ? Besides Carter and Jimmy Cowan the next best seems a little out of it ? Weepu willing as he is , is not in Cowans class and that is if Cowen can keep his cool by the way , the Ellis ? Lats but not least how did NZ get itself into such a position that Slade is the next best flyhalf ?
