I did say in five years. I think most of those boys will be pretty quality by then and most of the old boys will be done by then. I think that they would be good enough. What do you mean by international quality? Good enough for the All Whites or good enough to compete with other international players/teams? I actually kind of assume these guys will be the future All Whites... I mean who are the other players who will fill All Whites roles as our veterans begin to retire?
...Maybe I should go check out the all whites threads ... Been a little while.
Oh yeah and I didn't forget about Reid but I don't think we could pull a back three without Nelson (not that we necessarily will) and Nelson is just the man. He should have Chuck Noris jokes. He contributes epically.
