    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.

    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!

    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....

    generally, attacking ones. Locks get picked for linebreaks and shit.

    Think TJP & Smith have both been outstanding at 9 with TJP slightly shading it overall.

    Larsen kept the jersey warm til Troy Flavell was ready. He did his job.

    @MN5 For Harbour, presumably? Because there was a several year gap between Larsen playing tests and Flavells' debut. Which isn't really keeping the jersey warm.

    They're another inverse. Larsen was the guy more suited to lock who played probably more as a lumbering flanker for NZ, while Flavell was more suited to flanker but played lock for NZ.

    Not sure who is more insulted by that.
