[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1094170, member: 72520"] Lineout throwing is one of those skills at the top level that you have to be a pure professional/workaholic to really nail. It’s only really comparable to goal kicking in that it’s a pinpoint skill that you have to drill for hours and hours every week to really perfect. Wasps and Barbeary have been pretty open about the fact that he’s not exactly addicted to his craft. He loves curries, he loves beers etc. and while I think it’s great that there’s still a place in rugby for that; it does mean that I don’t think Barbeary is really able to commit himself to the absolute slog of extras that it takes to be an international-level hooker.
