    on 99 caps?

    I would be fuming! What a player though, to get 99 caps in a New Zealand jersey is a serious feat.

    Who else instead of Donald could they have called up (if they're gonna ignore Nick Evans and McAlister)?

    Persona non grata with the coaching team. He has had discipline issues recently which would seem to have shoved him to the bottom of the selection ladder.

    He has a hamstring injury - pulled up in training last week.

    Would be suprised if he's recovered to be involved in the semi-final.

    Stephen Brett probably would have been the next in line I'd imagine but he's uncapped. It's all a much of a muchness. When they're going as far down the line as 4th choice then it was always going to be Donald. I think Mike Delany is the only other bloke capped in recent times at 10.

    Cory Jane and dagg both got pissed up mid week too. What 's with these guys, can they not stay off the sauce for 6 weeks

    Brett is going to foxtrot Oscar to play abroad like Donald but Donalds previos 22 caps probably sealed it

    I'd say he'd give op the 100 caps for a shot at the cup.

    Still wont happen (here's hoping ;) )

    Donald will be keeping the bench warm while Cruden plays the full 80 minutes - hopefully. :D

    I actually thought Cruden did very well on Sunday morning. Although after watching Coopers performance anyone would look pretty good at 10! I thought it was a shock to pick Slade over Cruden in the first place.
