McAllistar will be back well before the next RWC....so will Carter and many of the others of a suitable age/form.....They are AB's first and know the rules......besides their next contract value would drop considerably if they were not AB's....There are plenty of other players here who will fill their shoes if by some miracle they don't.....
besides there is no guarantee that Carter will get his job back at Canterbury.....Stephen Brett has really grown as a player and has shown brilliant form whilst Carter was away....and Carter hasn't really gotten over breaking his leg a while ago and has never shown the form of the Lions tour since
