Bullshit. All Blacks have a stunning backline, but they don't have any worldbeaters in the front 5. After seeing you struggle against France, who are shit, I don't even have confidence that you''d have beaten Wales on their own, tbh.
Tbf Wilkinson would have missed that penalty. :troll: Also, Hook ahead of Priestland? Thought Hook was appalling at the WC.
Yeh this. The fact that Priestland is only just emerging and Hook has been awesomefor a while now could swing it in Hook's favour. Hook's diversity gives grea toptions from the bench mind.
No comment on the penalty. At the world cup, Priestland was indeed a better player, but how much did Hook play? Hook is absolutely quality, and with Roberts and Tuilagi in midfield you need a bit of creativity at 10...
That backline would get absolutely smoked by Piri Weepu Dan Carter Cory Jane Ma'a Nonu Conrad Smith Richard Kahui Israel Dagg With SBW in reserves.
Because I disagree with you I'm an idiot eh? Been following the game for many years more than you and know a lot more about it. Yeah, I might be a bit biased but not as much as you obviously... ...dickhead
Nah, it wouldn't. The backline I picked is quality defensively, tbh. Roberts and Tuilagi are probably the only centres in the world that could effectively shut down Nonu and Smith, tbh. I do agree that the current NZ backline is ridiculously good though. I mean, Fruean can't even make the squad and he'd stroll into the England side.
