All the talk about the No 9 spot, I think is misplaced. Recall as recently as the test against France on the EOYT, where we lost in the last few seconds against one of the top ranked sides in the World. Nic simply outplayed his opposite (Galtier?) all night and that was one major factor in the good team performance. The discussion ought to be about his backup (which it is to some posters) rather than who is going to displace him. Of course, Eddie might have a different take to me on the situation.
One further observation, Lonergan has the quickest and most accurate pass from the back of the breakdown of all contenders. He didn't set the world on fire in Aus A, but as Slim pointed out he was still in the squad last week. That puts him ahead of some of the others who are getting a mention on here, imo.
