for the props i have chosen dermody of the highlanders...all i get from afoa is alot of knock ons and a whole bag of unnecessary penalties from tialata..if anything saimone tamoepeau is light years ahead of both of them..he plays both sides of the scrum and can cover hooker..he is much more athletic then the two..he just hasnt had game time to show it,but clarke dermody is just a solid footballer..a coaches player who does his work,with woodcock and hayman healthy and somerville recovering you dont need anything else really...
its a toss up with the locks,rawlinson being so solid right now..i think that the allblack panel will stay loyal to the players they put on recondition..but i also believe they should pick a few players who are in form..and rawlinson is one..the other is david smith..now i rant on and on about him but he justifys that in a such a pathetic performing team..to be honest,if he was in the crusaders or the blues he would be one or if not the leading try scorer in this tournament..but even with what he has to deal with down in welly,he has done quite well for himself...we got the wingers we need..they are among the best finishers in the world and the best attacking players...we can breed the future at that sametime with bringing david in to shock the world...he brings a breathe of fresh air to the game...he adds different dimensions to nz rugby..plus we have mills who can wing as well if anything goes bad...
dan carter is the man...best 10..he has back up with luke and aaron and mcdonald...i dont think we need that much more of a clogging..evans is great but we have survived without him for the past 4 years with henry in charge...a few tests here and there sure..but the luke,mauger and macdonald have had a few more tests here and there..
now that darn centre spot...heres hoping umaga does the miracle return to help the ab's..lets be honest,he is quite capable of doing so and i hope he does...if not then his spot will go to conrad smith..who hasnt had the best of seasons so far...mills and leon are too good to leave out of the all blacks!...id love to see mills don that 13 jersey..toeava has the future of that written all over him but with experience and being one of the best backs going around..you got to give it to mills...and plus with mcdonald at the back its a really solid looking defending unit...one place we suffered in the past 2 world cups..toeava would be the ideal bench player..not a mother f***ing maa nonu..toeava is slowly coming to terms with what nonu can offer with ball in hand...those bumping runs and inside cuts..ice can do them too and he can offload better and once he masters that..buh bye nonu..up to the north you go...
and to help carter out..there is a wealth of kickers in the team..mcalistair,mauger,macdonald,weepu
...well see anyway,we still got trinations and a few tests between
GO THE ALL BLACKS!
