well for me it is simple really. richard kahui is the most talented outside back from NZ in the current generation of players. i curse his injury troubles, for they have deprived many from seeing a man who could have been their greatest 13 ever.

@SMB-9: kahui at 12, 13, 14, would be a benefit to any team better than any of the boks by far ,,,,,, a great loss to nz rugby

@sasuke: what i saw of kerr in the itm cup was he likes to run, had decent pace, crisp passing, a little offload game & slightly more assured than anscombe…not sure about tactical kicking or even goal kicking.

Wow I didnt see this coming,Kahui is all class and could have been a truly great centre but unfortunately he’s right up there with Andre Pretorius in terms of injury proneness.Will never forget his hit on Cooper in the 2011RWC qf!

Kahui is a brilliant player thwarted by injury. AB’s are spoilt for choice at 13 but feared Kahui playing against Boks at 13 – more physical than Smith. Luckily always broke down during Super rugby

That’s sad news regarding Kahui. Hope he stays injury free for the rest of his playing days.

@gonzo-4: Oh ok i see. You can be on to something regarding Hobbs. Anscombe looked a bright talent when he man alone destroyed the Bulls at Loftus. Dont really know Baden Kerr, what type of 10 is he? Will Chris Noakes be 1st choice?

@Sasuke-3: haha, don't ask. We dropped them both. Hobbs wasn't up to scratch, and I hate to say it and I have no real justification for it but I do wonder if he was picked so his old man could see him in Blue before he died. Anscombe was good and getting better but he's apparently not in the plan so he was delisted and went to the chiefs. We picked up Baden Kerr instead

@John Galt-1: @gonzo-2: We would have to wait and see what effect Kirwan has on the side. That backline looks exciting, Charles Piutau is a handful and Frank Halai is a beast from the All Blacks 7's team. Where is Anscombe and Hobbs?

Whoa, Kahui leaving is not a good thing. We really could do with the extra cover at centre. Can't blame the guy though, forever injured, has a RWC medal, and plenty of young bucks coming through. @John Galt-1: I want to be positive and say out back line looks okayish but when I look at last year's final standings, I'm not sure there's really any teams above us that we can easily beat. Highlanders look much much better, Canes will be better by a year, Tahs, well, anything is possible, Cheetahs, like us it depends on injuries. We won four last year, this year we'll make it six I would hope.

I dunno but i just cant see the Blues doing any better this year than they did last year.
