    I just heard that on the radio myself. I have to say I was rather surprised, though personally I think he deserves a place. Maybe they are changing the blinkered stance on the world cup and deciding they need some smarts in the team to beat aussie.

    Just didn't think it would happen after recent events........

    The fact you don't notice him in the No 6 jersey is a testament to his proficiency.

    You'd sure as fuck notice if he wasn't there.

    Previous to this season I was not a Rueben Thorne fan. Although I wouldn't say I am a fan now, I do have a newfound respect for him and I reckon he deserves his place (I was uite surprised he didn't get picked in the first place)
    The full team:
    Backs: Leon MacDonald, Mils Muliaina, Rico Gear, Doug Howlett, Joe Rokocoko, Scott Hamilton, Ma'a Nonu, Isaia Toeava, Aaron Mauger, Daniel Carter, Luke McAlister, Piri Weepu, Byron Kelleher, Jimmy Cowan.

    Forwards: Rodney So'oialo, Richie McCaw (captain), Chris Masoe, Jerry Collins, Reuben Thorne, Chris Jack, Ali Williams, Jason Eaton, Greg Rawlinson, Carl Hayman, Greg Somerville, Neemia Tialata, Tony Woodcock, Anton Oliver, Keven Mealamu, Andrew Hore.

    No Casey Laladela, no Sam Tuitupou, - no surprise

    he has been brought back into the side as a blindside flanker... backup to Jerry Collins i assume.

    I actually reckon apart from Sivivatu they've got the right mix there. But as the reports have been saying where's the depth in some areas? I'm still not sold on Toeava in the centres but who else is there? Caleb F**kin' Ralph??!!??

    dIRTY BUTT BAG!! I almost tempted to start a RED REP war because I disagree so strongly with you!! (not really - you post heaps of prone)
    Caleb Ralph is the most over-rated player the game in NZ has seen...

    Im no fan of Reuban either but after having to play No. 6 this year for the first time , I realised he is awesome at that position.
    He does all the hard yards , why can richie play such a loose open game?
    Because Reuban does all the tight stuff.
    and his set play is bloody fantastic from what i can see.
    his body position and skills at set play is primo.

    I feel he thouraghly deserves to be in the squad.
