Wynne Gray admits to being puzzled by the selection of Piri Weepu in the All Blacks' squad to face Ireland and Wales in The New Zealand Herald.
"Halfbacks Piri Weepu and Jimmy Cowan made their All Black debuts a week apart on the same tour to Europe in late 2004.
"They were part of a backs division which carried familiar names such as Mils Muliaina, Joe Rokocoko, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu and Daniel Carter alongside a pack which has undergone serious changes since.
"Seven years later Weepu and Cowan are the preferred halfbacks for the June internationals, blokes who have each played more than 30 tests without quite nailing it."
