Certainly can't dispute that Wilkinson is world class, just not sure that he's the best in the sqaud at inside centre. On the other hand, the threat of his goal kicking should dissuede the All Blacks from conceding too many penalties in their own half. Although, if that's a powerful argument, Henson at Inside Centre and Wilkinson at Fly Half would be a really potent kicking combination.
...and another thing...I love the New Zealand press; as soon as we start competing at the breakdown, we are a bunch of cynical cheats. No doubt that it, the All Blacks are, and almost always have been, an awesome team, but they are masters of pushing the rules to the absolute limit (building up to a Saturday afternoon excuse here!) Ooooh the hypocrisy of it !!
