    The presence of Owen Franks has been of great benefit to Tyrell Lomax, probably a turning point in his career. Lomax is still young for a prop and could improve in terms of tackling and discipline, which are his main weakness. He will be a world class THP IMO.

      He's just back on the trajectory he dipped from after leaving the highlanders.

        He wasn't as good when he was playing for the Highlanders. Promising but nowhere near his current form.

          A barely believable tale.

              Biggest surprise of the season for me.
              Came from getting dominated in Super to looking world class and an automatic selection.
              Not sure what changed, coaching or attitude, but someone especially Lomax deserves some major credit.

                  Not ideal putting it here to be honest. I’ve already reported it to the mods.

                  You should make an All Blacks 1993 thread.

                    @Bones you'd hope Franks would have been mentoring in the background while he was at the Canes.

                      He only appeared to show the improvement at AB level though imo.

                        Having BBBR pushing behind you in the scrum helps.

                            Pretty big gap in horsepower in the second row between the Canes and AB's locks. Add in some coaching and hey presto.

                              He’s alright. He has boundaries around his job and does a pretty good job considering. I enjoy his live work

                                Improvement isn't always instantaneous, sometimes the tips and tricks you glean off the older pros take a while to sink in.
