[QUOTE="Randwick Kingfisher, post: 278562"] Chris Jack left the country as one of the worlds best locks. Not only is he good in the lineouts but he attacks well too. It'll be interesting to see if hes still got it, which I'm hoping he has. Theres a number of things wrong with the lineout Hore's throwing, predictabillity, poor option (going long/short), Ian Jones pointed out Matfield's 1.2 metre postioning oh and of course Botha/Matfield are the best lineout jumpers in the lineout world. I think there's a number of things that go wrong here and there, when they fix one thing something else will go wrong and thats all because of the pressure Botha/Matfield put on our locks. Brad Thorn I read in the paper said that Hansen was the mastermind for last years lineout and their was no problem's last year which is true. Thorn feels that they just need to cope with the pressure and that they are up against good lineout jumpers in Matfield/Botha. Issac Ross is great talent but I'd like to see Jack take on Matfield/Botha. Jack/Botha/Matfield have experience over Ross. Thorn you cant leave him out of the all blacks, he has to be in there somewhere. All Blacks should also try to avoid the ball going out when Matfield/Botha are playing, especially in their own half. Due to an unreliable lineout prevention is the best cure. [/QUOTE]
