Sonny Bill Williams came roaring back to life against Argentina - but is it enough to propel him into the All Blacks' starters for the big games in this World Cup year?
A Herald poll a month ago on the SBW v Ma'a Nonu debate got a massive response, with an overhwelming 88 per cent of respondents favouring Nonu in the No. 12 jersey. But that was before SBW dug into his box of tricks against the Pumas.
Who would you pick at second five-eighths and centre in the All Blacks' No. 1 lineup?
1) Nonu/Conrad Smith: The old gang provides enough attack and their know how, workrate and chemistry on defence is irreplaceable.
2) SBW/Smith: Sonny Bill's big-hit defence and amazing offloads are winners, and Smith will know how to get them in sync.
