Who will be the ABs third choice at 9 for the RWC ?

since when has being a bench player been a roadblock to test match rugby?

TTT, Frizzell, Hemopo, Perry you could class in the regular non-starter category before being named ABs

@ACT-Crusader He's been much less reliable for Harbour.

[African Monkey]

@Nevorian God help us if we have to rely on him at halfback.

[Crucial]

I suspect there is a plan with TTT to be honing him for the 'close out' role once occupied so well by TKB.
Chiefs are happy at the moment to use him that way as although Weber's passing can go ropey at times his main attribute of speed to the breakdown and quick clearance is what the Chiefs want at the moment especially with a journeyman 10

Title is slightly exaggerating ...

Chiefs coach Colin Cooper backs Brad Weber's All Blacks return

[No Quarter]

Nothing would give me more anxiety than Weber being on the pitch in a big test.

[Yeetyaah]

Who would you rather then? Weber is arguably the third best halfback in Super atm, possibly Bryn Hall. I'd rather Weber over TTT at the moment.

[Kirwan]

Weber reminds me a lot of Brendon Leonard. Fast, but that’s about all.

I’d prefer Hall if TTT is out of favour.

[taniwharugby]

when TKB was on the scene we had a good mix...Smith for the fast game, TKB for his workrate and defence and then TJP kinda in the middle of both, but at the time not good enough to really usurp both...

I don't believe that. Weber's passing is abysmal. A fundamental skill for halfbacks and he's shit at it.
