[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 774235, member: 20605"] In some cases, esp in the NH, both players are referred to as "centres" and they play left ad right centre rather that the inside/outside arrangement we play here. Aaron Mauger was a deft kicker and offered an option as a right foot kicker outside of Carter's left-foot speciality. I can recall many an occasion where Mauger, whether playing for Canterbury, the Crusaders or the All Blacks, carved off large amounts of territory with the "wipers" kick behind opposing backlines. Its a skill that Nonu has picked up only in the last two or three years of his AB career. Mauger was also a deceptive runner, using guile and skill to glide through opponent's backlines, rather that the "battering ram" approach of Tuitavaki or Nonu in his earlier years. [/QUOTE]
