Huh - older than I thought.
He's also been up against BBBR and SW - one of the great locking combos. Like Ofa, could have a breakout season. Coachs like him, I'm sure he'll step up if he's capable of it

Hmmm, does he like the tight work ? I'm not sure of this. He always stands on the wing for the Highlanders, far from the rucks and mauls.
you might be thinking of someone else...Frizzell is always in amoungst the tight stuff, he's often first choice for a hit up and defends one off the ruck, hence being second on the comp tackle stats

Yeah like KW says, you've got it wrong here... maybe looking at previous years play. He's hit a shitload of breakdowns and even has his fair share of turnovers. I think one ruck in the weekend he hit bloody four times!

Sam cane hasn’t even been that bad, his team has. Dillon Hunt? 😂

Well at least they got a third of the starting XV right

This gives me Kaino at lock vs Ireland flashbacks.
Terrific No.6 and great cover for lock in an injury situation - def not a starter at 4 or 5.

Which is the inverse of S Barrett. Quality starting lock and useful cover at 6 (some forget he filled that role very effectively several times before his ill-fated promotion to starting at 6).
The Barrett at 6 thing reminds me of Blair Larsen who was also a slightly undersized lock but just a little too clunky to play a full game at 6.

Thats what ive always felt, when at 6 he looks like a lock covering 6....
