<p>there is an image we need to uphold. Eaton was bad enough</p>

<p>A chick I worked with was on the receiving end of Eatons charms at a pub some years back, she obviously hadn't read the "hydro11s tips for dating in the 21st century" handbook though cos despite being extremely tall and big with intimidating facial hair she had the gall to actually turn him down.</p> -

<p>She was tall with intimidating facial hair? Looks like Eaton dodged a potential chew the arm off situation there.</p> -

<p>He should take a leaf out of Sam Canes book. Cane has quite obviously modeled his do on the great god of the seven jersey and it is paying off.</p>
<p>Squire needs a sensible Kaino/Read haircut. See how well Luatua fared with his mop? Not good eh?</p> -

I definitely think Moala is valuable as well. No one else in the squad can play midfield and wing.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Who knows where they see some players fitting in. I guess we didn't know Kahui could play wing at test level until the AB coaches threw him there! He certainly wasn't used there by Mooloo or Chiefs. <br><br>
Moala is yet to be a midfielder for the ABs and may not be an option they are looking for. If I recall they didn't see Ranger as a midfielder but a wing, despite him playing most of his footy at Super and NPC in the midfield. -

<p>I'm not sure the Welsh deserve any more respect than say, any other sporting event/topic on the planet. </p> -

<p>Pinetree didn't even sport the great big homo handles that were popular at the time. In fact I doubt his haircut has changed one iota in his nearly 80 years on the planet.</p> -

<br>
My money is on Ratpoo. He is shameless. Marshall would only lurk here as long as it took to find criticism of himself. -
<p>so, the 2nd or 3rd page of every match thread then?</p>

Meg, great player but useless commentator and analyst. <br><br>
In seriousness though, I guess he could make it. It could be a case of last man standing given the available options are very limited. The NZ Super rugby wingers are a mix of incumbents, ineligible's, injuries, very green players and then a few 'okays'. Naholo has just come back and is playing well and Savea's form has been very up and down. Who else is there?<br><br>
Lowe's in the "okay" category for me. His game reminds me a lot of Guildford's and one of the Marshall boys. There's quickness and the odd line break and other okay stuff, but if you look at the specialist wingers the AB coaches have selected over the last 8 years they have all had something that really stands out.<br><br>
I certainly won't begrudge his selection if he does make it and gets an opportunity, I hope he goes well. <br><br><br>

<p>I guess that as wing options go, if either of Naholo or Savea get injured the choices are plain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bring back Dagg and move Ben from accounts back to the flank</p>
<p>Bring in McKenzie and move Ben from accounts back to the flank</p>
<p>Leave Ben where he is and bring in a newbie (Moala, Lowe, FABJM, Nanai, Li, Osbourne) probably in that order, although They had a semi for Osbourne a while back for some reason.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't see DMac as a viable wing option apart from if he is selected in the squad giving him a few minutes off the bench</p>
