I know we sometimes don't use our one of our locks at all in some tests , just to fuck with my head, but over 6 games where the hell did Sam W disappear to?
Pretty sure Whitelock is the lifter for most of Reads takes

A few years ago we would switch which one of our locks was a primary target.
One week Retallick would have 0 takes, next week Whitelock 0 takes, sort of thing. We can mix it up with 4 targets.
But. I'm still very surprised that over 6 games Sam Whitelock doesn't make a list where the cutoff is 9 takes. That's a very interesting approach.

tall lifters make a world of difference.
This is based on nothing than single watch, naked eye type analysis. But i think we throw to the front a lot more than most teams. And i think this is because the speed and width of Aaron Smith's pass allows us to use 2 or 3 ball as still good attacking ball, where as other teams feel the need to throw a bit deeper. And if you are throwing to the front you are often hitting your shorter jumper. I would actually like to go back and break down our lineouts in a test one day, but who has that sort of time?

Henry basically said Akira Ioane should be in the All Blacks, and if "they showed him a bit of love" he could be an international great.
Was nice to hear Sumo also question why the hell Akira is not in the ABs: if this AB coaching staff is so great why can they not get the best out of him.
