He was the first name on the All Blacks team sheet for much of his 14-year tenure but legendary openside Richie McCaw says the No.7 role is a matter of horses for courses.McCaw, now 35, played a record 148 Tests for his country, including 110 as All Blacks skipper.In that time he lifted two Rugby World Cups and 10 Bledisloe crowns as captain, as well as the World Rugby Player of the Year award three times.But the former Crusaders No.7 jumper has been hotly contested following his 2015 retirement, with Sam Cane, Matt Todd and livewire Ardie Savea all vying for the role.Cane has typically served as the incumbent openside when fit, with Savea serving as team super-sub due to his high-intensity style and carrying ability.Yet McCaw, who was typically preferred by coach Steve Hansen for the full 80 minutes of Tests, felt the decision to go with a Cane-Savea two-punch combo wasnt too much of an aberration.At the moment theyve got two No.7s they want to have in the matchday squad, so thats how they share that role, McCaw told NZN.I guess as captain, its a bit like Kieran Read at the moment, theyre not going to replace him most games so having a reserve No.8 probably isnt what you need.Savea, who weighs in at 100kg, told reporters on Monday he was struggling to put on the weight necessary to thrive as a Test openside.Cane, who sits around eight kilos heavier, said he could empathise with the Hurricanes ace given the importance of dominating at the breakdown.It was this extra weight that gave Cane the edge at selection time, according to Hansen.The 24-year-olds experience also came in handy, having played 37 Tests, including one as captain.The big deciding factor comes down to the physicality that Sam provides, hes a little more physical than the other two, particularly in the tackle, Hansen said.Its the old adage, the big strong guy who can do all the things the little guy can do, hes got the advantage because hes just got the size.McCaw, who weighed in at 107kg during his playing days, was impressed with the depth of talent currently pursuing the openside role.Cane had stepped into his shoes with aplomb in 2016, before a hamstring injury gave Todd the chance to shine against South Africa and Australia.The Chiefs co-captain will return to the breach at No.7 against Ireland on Saturday.When you look at the three of them, in most teams around the world theyd get a run, so were pretty lucky, McCaw said.

Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia offensive coordinator Jim Chaney says the health of the Bulldogs top running backs could help decide who opens the season as the starting quarterback.Star tailback Nick Chubb ran with the first-team offense on Saturday as he continues his recovery from left knee surgery midway through the 2015 season. So far, Chubb has been practicing with no restrictions, but Georgia has not been tackling to the ground.Sony Michel, who replaced Chubb as the starter, is recovering from a broken left forearm he suffered in an offseason ATV accident. He is wearing a cast on the forearm and has not been cleared for contact.Among the options at tailback are freshmen Elijah Holyfield, Brian Herrien and Tae Crowder and senior Brendan Douglas.At quarterback, returning starter Greyson Lambert has been sharing snaps with freshman Jacob Eason and junior Brice Ramsey. Ramsey also is competing at punter.Georgia coaches might be less inclined to give Eason his first start in Georgias opener against North Carolina on Sept. 3 in Atlantas Georgia Dome if Chubb and Michel are not cleared to play.I think youd be a fool if you didnt consider that a little bit early on, Chaney said Saturday.Chaney said first-year coach Kirby Smart is very aware of that and sensitive to those issues. Chaney added that ultimately he wants the best quarterback on the field.Inevitably it will be decided on which one of those boys can move the team down the field and put up points, Chaney said in his first news conference at Georgia.Smart said he has given the three quarterbacks equal opportunities to win the starting job. The three have traded days with the first-team offense. Saturday was Easons turn as Georgia continues to install Chaneys offense.I cant tell you anybody stood out more than anybody else riight now, Smart said.dddddddddddd. Its too early. Theyre still in the installation process which sometimes can be overwhelming.Chaney has led offenses for 30 years at such schools as Arkansas, Tennessee, Purdue and Cal State-Fullerton. He said this is the first time hes had three quarterbacks he would have confidence to start.Its a big deal for me, Chaney said. Ive not had three guys who can go out and play.The depth is nice, but Chaneys impatience to find a starter showed on Friday when he said I got a little upset with them.I told them one of them needs to start emerging a little bit here, he said. Show a little bit more. ... The competition is hot and its alive ... and its been fun to watch.A few hundred fans accepted Smarts invitation to attend an open practice at Sanford Stadium held before the annual fan day schedule.It was a rare opportunity for fans and media to watch a full practice.Eason drew a big cheer when he connected with freshman Tyler Simmons on a long touchdown pass.Game notes Smart doesnt agree with the decision of his former boss, Alabama coach Nick Saban, to block the attempt of Alabama graduate student Maurice Smith, a defensive back, to transfer to Georgia. Saban blocked his transfer to SEC schools. Because Smith is a potential recruit, Smart wouldnt comment on the player. Asked about the rule, Smart said he would support a Georgia player who had graduated and wanted to transfer to another graduate school. Asked if that included another SEC school, Smart said Absolutely. ... DT John Atkins was held out with a knee injury. Smart said Atkins status is day to day.---AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
