Based on the assumption the Senior reserve will be given first crack and SBW will be in the squad.

Fairly predictable Alan given the new players have already been blooded in, in fact so quickly the side is looking settled already.

Id have nonu at 13 rater than SBW as many moves have centered around SBW and carter/ cruden a nd nonu has a better wider pass.

Hi.Taylorman just predicting the team,not individual positions SBW will obviously start at 12 if picked.Crudon wuld obviouslybe comfortable with the standard AB back line .Piri,Nonu,Conrad,Coryjane,having playing so many matches for the `Canes together.I see Plumtree has had a go at both the S15 travel format and the Chiefs illegal play.Certainly Walsh could have binned the Prop on a Red Card and SBW on a Yellow.Offside accusations against Chiefs certainly borderline,if not correct there.Also closing the gap and jumping across in the Lineouts but hey if the Ref doesn`t pick it up.Chiefs certainly were trying to niggle Sharks t o gain Penalties for reaction.They were certainly the better side whatever and the Sharks are far better than that.I wonder about the SBW factor both Fruen and Horwell played better when he was there.Fruen has flatlined a bit Ryan Crotty is a very good 12 without the Flash bits.Dan Carter since injury most of the time has been near his best Goal kicking aside.McCaw is just THE best even when he was targetted and out of position in the Semi he was still immense.
