ABs are already bringing the next generation through. Retallick, Romano, Barrit, Savea, Smith, Cane etc these guys have been introduced to not only test rugby but the AB systems and I can guarantee they have been informed of the things in their game they need to work on.

Hansen has surprised me in the fact he has blooded so many youngsters already.

Tameifuna, Faumuiana also. expect these youngsters to improve in next seasons super rugby tourney.

the future for AB rugby is looking very good imho

There are a couple of possible new hookers, but not at the same standard yet. Hooker maybe the biggest concern. Kahui will take over from Smith (4 years younger) for a while if needed, so there is a few years to go before centre becomes a major issue. 2nd five is a bit of a worry though. No massive standout for that one yet. Maybe Toeava when fit. The good thing is that of the players mentioned, maybe only Woodcock and McCaw are perhaps past there very best (aging bodies) watching them so far this season. Both still world class though, and fortunately with decent looking replacements already starting to come through. Hore and Mealamu still very strong, with Mealamu having one of his best games last night. Watch the EOY tour to see what Hansen is starting to bring through for Hooker and midfield.

Will be very interesting to see how McCaw, Carter, Mealamu, Hore, Nonu, Conrad Smith, Woodcock etc are replaced in time for the next world cup.

ABs are in danger of hanging onto their world cup winners just a bit too long. A mistake previously made by Aus, England and SA. Sentimentality is a dangerous thing. And how do you replace McCaw and Carter?

Just like sad eyed Sadie and hovering Hougie young Jean Luc Dup gonna be crying bitter sweet mercenary tears just the same
