Quote: jools "I think him and charnley would be a better choice, Watkins pairing hall as they are more likely to understand the others play. On top of that I'd be happier with cudjoe against inglis and sonny bill Williams- correct me if I've got that wrong but I think they would both play at left centre. But macnamara accommodates his favourites without looking at the overall team picture.
I'm very very worried. I have a very nasty feeling we may be losing baloo after this World Cup.'"
Sonny Bill is a in Union. I would be very happy if he played for the Kiwis , that's one position the team is light on depth.
It's very unlikely Williams will play anywhere other than his more accustomed League position in the secound Row. Kearney is a conservative coach, which is a shame because the Kiwis are overstocked for world class forwards as opposed to personnel in the backline.
This coming weekend against Samoa , with Thomas Leuluai ruled out with a groin strain until the 1st of Nov France test.....Kearney may switch Williams to stand off where he excelled for the Roosters this year to allow Kielran Foran much needed rest.
Williams declaring for the Kiwis has given them back up in the Seound Row Locke stand off Half back standoff and Wing.
Crazy if you think about it.
