[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 778633, member: 38640"] In NZ it is typically the scrummaging locks tend to play 4. Chris Jack, Brad Thorn, Brodie Retallick. With that said all of them often call the line-outs, ever the comparatively short Brad Thorn. I think that while that better scrummager tends to play at 4 - I'm not convinced New Zealand has ever really bought into having a heavier / athletic lock. I think the expectation is players have to be strong enough and mobile enough to make the starting XV. [/QUOTE]
