    Personally, I would rather give DC the exemption to come back and play the WC. He still looks magnificent and playing good rugby too.........

    I don't know the incessant calls for Mo'unga to start 10 got a bit tiring toward the end of the season I can only imagine what it would be like if DC were in play.

    Yes, while it was said a little tongue in cheek, I still think he would run a better backline than Barrett

    Nah they are just going to put Barrett on the team sheet, and play both Jordie and Beaudy in 15, and hope no one notices we've got sixteen on the field

    @mariner4life that's why we need Ben from accounts - no one else can count that high.

    One of the greatest All Blacks to wear the Jersey ever. If he can make the AB World Cup squad at 37 it would be an exceptional achievement, a fairytale comeback.

    I don't think we'll see Ma'a Nonu at the World Cup this year, but hey we'll always have this:

    He is far and away the best 12 the ABs have ever had surely.

    Goodhue.

    Ben can have a bench spot with any other Highlander, Chief, Hurricane or Blue...

    Keith Lowen and Regan King.....

    I remember their exploits well yet ask me what Goodbye and ALB did just last year and I'll draw a blank.

    Alzheimer's will be great fun.

    Its a shame Savea didn't follow in his footsteps and move in from the wing. He has the size, still has good pace. Just needed to learn to pass.

    He has played a couple of games there for Toulon and didn't look horribly out of his depth.

    Saveas number one problem was not having SBWs management team cos he got discarded on the back of far fewer ordinary games...

    Yeah but all wingers slow down. We've seen it all before it seems the smart ones or the more skilled ones. Tana, Ma'a can move into the midfield and prolong their careers. Hopefully Reiko is reading this.

    Your little war on SBW is cute, but Savea played at least 20 ordinary games before being dropped (only broken up by the French test in RWC).

    Reiko would like to get some practice in the midfield but he's too scared of the Fern Blues fans.

    Him or Bert Cooke, but Bert would be too wee for the modern game.
