I can understand Henry starting NOW to collect & bring on younger players for the next Wold Cup. But even so....... PJ

673122 2008-05-27 09:27:00 Until the NZRFU wake up and allow overseas based players to play for the All Blacks then we will always struggle at the RWC. It's a shame to see Jerry Collins go - if I were a selector, he and Dan Carter would be at the top of my list on the basis of skills, presence and work-rate. andrew93 (249)

They let henry back in after he left overseas. I say let players go overseas. The NZ team is full of imports anyway.

It is a shame to see Jerry leave though. Seems the All blacks these days have too many lightweights.
I wouldnt want overseas people playing for us though when we have heaps of great players here.
