Writing in the New Zealand Herald, Paul Lewis argues that Colin Slade and Sitiveni Sivivatu should be given a chance by All Blacks coach Graham Henry.
"You'd have to say - quietly, mind you - that pretty much every step taken on the path to the Rugby World Cup this year by Graham Henry, Steve Hansen and Wayne Smith has been firm, correct and is setting up the All Blacks for their best shot at (hush, now ... whisper it) a World Cup title since 1987.
"The All Black squad for the Tri Nations is due out today and it will contain few, if any, surprises.
"Henry has reduced the "bolter" dimension to almost zero in past years - even before the advent of the recent training camps which pre-announced such things as the dropping of Stephen Donald and faith in Aaron Cruden.”
