I hope the selectors will be brave enough to drop him if he's not right rather than giving him games for the sake of getting him closer to joining the 100 club... not saying he doesn't deserve to get there as he's been a very very good (if not an all-time great) player for a long time, but if he's no longer the best or 2nd-best hooker in NZ then leave him out & get Elliott or Coles in there... it may be "only Ireland" but the rebuilding process has to start somewhere & some time.

watching the Blues games has been a form of torture at times, however I would not write-off the performances of either A Williams of Nonu - look at the circumstances they have only been on a winning side once all year, constantly going backwards, neither supported by quality players as the constant injuries/rotations have occurred. Neither of them is necessarily playing 'badly' and I'd still rather see them in the squad. Just my opinion of course.

yeah, The blues players don't deserve selection, you guys should be looking towards the Chiefs, Highlanders and Crusaders. it'll be like england picking Mark Cueto all the time otherwise and we all know that was a massive joke!

Have to agree Nonu-Williams and Weepu are class players ,but i still feel SH and co should go for inForm players come the tests ,unless they are totally outstanding in the preparations..The way it looks atm i have doughts they will be .I think there is a little bit of a RWC hangover atm in the NZ squad ,despite SHs denials .After all its happened to everyother RWC winning team,why should NZ be any different
