Is it time to call Stephen Donald?

Just kidding. But seriously, what did you make of Taylor's debut? And who else do you think will come into the #10 position in the coming years? NZ #10's (in order of preference) Daniel Carter Aaron Cruden Beauden Barrett Tom Taylor Colin Slade Those top three should do the job heading towards Rugby World Cup 2015.Just kidding.

Assuming everybody is fit, that's a fair order. I have some serious doubts that DC makes it all the way to RWC. Except (I know, I know) I'd toss in Nick Evans. As long as I'm dreaming, just behind Carter. As someone else has said, I hope we'll see Anscombe have a go at 15, from whence he can move up if needed in a match. Mark L

I was thinking of Carlos Spencer or Andrew Merhtans. Hell, even Grant Fox might expect a phone call

I quite like Tommy as a 'Saders fan, but I think that your top 5 list is what I agree with. Gareth Anscombe can play 15 too - number 6, and played brilliantly at ten for the Blues in 2012, Lima Sopoaga played pretty well for the Highlanders too - didn't get much time at ten though. - number 7 Carter may struggle to make 2015 though :/ so I would have Cruden there if no Carter.
