McWright as well, of course, for the Wallabies.

And then you've got a six who is just your nasty big hitting kind of guy.

Yeah, your Dupo Vai or Simon Parker or Devin Flanders or whoever gets that role for the All Blacks.

So it can work.

The problem is that obviously, which I think is a fair point by Watto, we have so many good loose forwards.

And it would feel criminal not to involve someone like a Peter Lakai who's been so good the last few years.

and he's getting usurped by a guy who is an outside back by trade.

But there's no one else who's really a lot better than Damien McKenzie to take him away from that spot.

So like if you had a 6-2 bench split and one of the six forwards is actually Lester Whanganuku, that means that you don't have a loose forward.

And then let's say your starting trio is, let's say it's Simon Parker, it's Adi Savia and it's Wallace Satiti.

Well that means that someone like Devon Flanders isn't involved after having probably his career best Super Rugby season.

And Peter Lakai as well, who I mentioned before.

So I don't like the idea of leaving out guys who could probably be a little bit more reliable because they've been playing this position their entire lives.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network

I'm finding reasons not to like it.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network

It's worth the experiment.

But at least if I'm going to lose a world-class centre and winger.

They're not going to Les Kiss, and he's giving them his... Or it'll be one of the colour commentators who it'll cross to, whether it's Morgan Turanui or Justin Marshall or...

I think he can still perform well.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network

And we've seen in Super Rugby, he can have one really good game out of maybe four or five.

And the other three or four of those games are not bad, but just not at the level that we once saw from Bowdoin Barrett.
