[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 615795, member: 57076"] I agree New Zealand could go with more girth. Kaino has clearly been missed all those tests after the 2011 RWC Final. The AB haven't looked as incredibly dangerous in the rucks as in recent years, at least in given examples they haven't: - against England in Twickers 2013. - in Paris 2013: we used Wenceslas Lauret to slow sown the ball in rucks and totally succeeded at that while the same 95kg flanker Lauret had very little impact some 2 weeks later against the Boks. - against the Boks: the Boks will often have very thick, physical sides and his year's squad is definitely amongst the best they've ever had. They beat the Blacks up in the scrum and rucks and mauls. This doesn't answer this thread's question directly, but I'd say the Blacks should strengthen their scrum, probably a hooker and is Woodcock really a good scrummager at LP ??.. Then, yes, an enforcer. The return of Kaino is fantastic news for the Blacks. [/QUOTE]
