slight tangent: My main concern is the midfield and the cohesion of the 10/12/13. We have the players and several very good options in all three positions, but there will be questions about how they come together and build a combination.<br><br>
We saw on that 2013 EOYT against France, Ireland and England that we had some scratchy performances when the coaches went with Ben Smith at centre. I won't have an issue with whoever they go with - Fekitoa, Crotty, or possible newbies like Ngatai, etc but I anticipate we may be up for some more scratchy performances.</p></blockquote>

Agree ACTC. 12-13 is our <em>potential</em> weak link.<br><br>
Everywhere else we're pretty well covered. Unless we have two injuries in a position. -

On that note - Fatialofa is looking good IMO, definitely cuts the mustard defence-wise.</p></blockquote>

I've liked what I've seen of him. -

<p>Any of you blokes actually watch the crusaders this year?</p>

<p>Read is having his best season in quite a few years, and I wouldn't argue if Todd had been named man of the match in his last 3 games.</p>

<p>Read my mind bro. imagine this 10/12/13 trio....</p>

<p>10. Israel "I've found my running mojo, but still have stupid facial expressions" Dagg</p>
<p>12. Ardie "I might be a ripped midget but I put my head in dark places" Savea</p>
<p>13. Akira "I want to fight you after I've fended you and two of your teammates off" Ioane</p> -
<p>Shame Vito is leaving, he could go on the wing!</p>

<p>Hahaha these are funny but I wouldnt say 6'2 Savea is a midget. Dagg reminds me of Dan Vettori - I swear when they pull out the tongue they perform a couple notches higher than when its hidden away.</p> -

<p>If he's 6 foot 2 then I'm 6 foot 6......</p>

<p>Of all those "coulda been" guys it's hard not to think of Roy Kinikinilau, that guy fell off the face of the earth after taking the Sevens world by storm though.....</p> -
Ardie 6'2, that must be measuring the top of his hair...

<p>Sweet, that must make 5 ft 8 and a half then, happy days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Actually, I was looking for pics of Ardie and Julian together because they tend to appear the same height when next to each other - I didn't find one of them together, but did discover Julian's missus. Damn. To paraphrase myself - that's one Muslim even BSG would like. ;)</p> -

<p>Im 6'2. He is 6'2 ive had lunch with the guy. Stop looking at your short flat screens making the players look chubby and dwarf like. J Savea is 6,3 and Ards is 6,19 to be technical.</p>

<p>Hey, look, I'm sure we could call ''peering at my man-crush Ardie from two tables away at Mr Bun Courtenay Place while I seductively shove a chocolate lamington into my mouth" as "had lunch with with the guy" just to keep Canes4Life happy. </p>
