    Carter and Clarke on the wings.
    Cant wait to see Carter get a run.

    Carter will need to be better under the high ball than he showed for the Chiefs at times. But at least we've got some speed and x-factor on the wings.

    What is this thing called x-factor? It’s so elusive that it’s meaning has evaded me….

    According to a certain poster x-factor is a fat but fast Fijian.

      Think of Reece in an AB jersey. The opposite of that. I'm happy to be of assistance.

      And the rest of them. The only winger that had x-factor in the last 20 years is Rupeni. Every one else just did their job

      I would posit Shane Williams and Jason Robinson

      They both bamboozled defences

        I would dare not call anyone fat who was quicker than myself and the majority of pro rugby players.

            Whatever floats your boat. Rupeni is in my all-time XV. Unlike most of the eye patch wearing supporters who seem to have this weird obsession with their provincial favourites (to go along with their anti-Crusader/Cantab obsession), I can see greatness regardless of the colour of the jersey.

            For completeness Caleb Ralph and Scott Hamilton were a close 2nd and 3rd behind the great Fijian.

                            I remember this try and commentary well. Andy Irvine needed another 10 metres to gun down GB.

                            A bit sad realising several of these guys are no longer with us!

                            I remember this try and commentary well. Andy Irvine needed another 10 metres to gun down GB.

                            A bit sad realising several of these guys are no longer with us!

                            Apparently the genesis of sports advertising. Got replayed so often that Schweppes a massive boost. Watch when Batty puts it down.

                              Rupeni was the most dangerous attacking player of all time at his peak - better than Lomu and Cullen

                                I like the starting XV and am interested in seeing how Carter plays. Hopefully the weather and the game plan suit.

                                I'm not sure DMac at fullback is the best use of him and Jordan.

                                      What is this thing called x-factor? It’s so elusive that it’s meaning has evaded me….

                                      Think of Reece in an AB jersey. The opposite of that. I'm happy to be of assistance.

                                      And the rest of them. The only winger that had x-factor in the last 20 years is Rupeni. Every one else just did their job

                                      Peak Julian Savea 'just doing his job'. Wow.

                                          Didn't WR change the eligibility rules out of pure fear of him playing for the ABs? At his peak he was easily as good, but his peak wasn't long unfortunately.
