SBW has been pretty average in this years provincial competition. He missed the Super 14 as he was in France, but I don't think he has shown enough to deserve the AB'S call up for the tour....it's just the NZRU have helped to bankroll his 'return" and they need to get a return on their investment.
He is currently the face of a new Rebel Sports TV campaign over here.....there's one advert when he tries on a Kiwi jersey, then an AB one,,,,,,then a balck caps one, followed by a basketball (tall blacks) one.......pretty apt for a money grabber like him.
As for Catalancs saying the AB's are bolted on for nest years RUWC.......
