[QUOTE="IKALETAHI, post: 701147, member: 40455"] It wasnt too long ago that any All Blacks were that great under the High ball after being exposed by South Africa in 2008 when the springboks dominated the All blacks using the High ball. Graham Henry then made catching the High ball a priority at Training. I remember Savea being terrible under the High ball during his first ITM cup campaign. Now saying that No one kicked to Lomu so it wasnt a skill that was required playing when Lomu did. In regards to the try scoring feat it is very impressive but put lomu in any of those positions and he scores them as well. Savea benefits off alot of great inside work to score his tries. To say players are as big as Lomu today I cant think of one RUGBY ATHLETE EVER to be 6 ft 4 118-120kgs and run the 100 in under 11 secs let alone be the fastest player in the team (which Lomu was). That combination of SIZE and SPEED would make him a More powerful player than any current player. [/QUOTE]
