To echo the sentiment of others on this thread, I like the AB side and the opportunity Razor has given some players to build depth. However, I don't like having two undersized loosies on the bench and no locks.

I just the highlights of the NZ v France U20 game. Geez, there is some skillful players on both sides, in both the forwards and the backs. NZ will have to stiffen up their defence a bit in the final, particularly when it comes to the short ball. The Baby Boks will exploit that otherwise.
