AB squad for the Bledisloe Cup?

@Tim Most interesting comment in that is
"We have lots of guys who are a good physical size, who are great toilers who roll their sleeves up and get stuck in but in our view we can’t have everybody of the same ilk.
“We needs some contrast in that.’’
To me that reads that they are really looking for a Whitelock replacement or a ball playing lock.
Guzzler was both a lump and a ball player.
I agree that options are limited at the moment. TripleP is improving but needs to add more strings to his bow. Looks like we may have to squeeze as much out of Sam as possible.

Just realised when re-reading that quote. Foxy has turned into Gollum!
"We needs a new lock. A precious new lock"

I've always thought of Whitelock as an aerial lock. That is, excellent in the lineout and with kickoff receptions. But he has never been a ball-carrying lock who gets you consistent metres in the trenches. Even Aust gets more out of their locks in this area than the ABs do. I'd take a punt on Parkinson as he is the closest to that type of player.

that's what you need. A decade and a half ago the Boks had it absolutely sorted with Matfield and Botha. And nothing has changed since then.
If you get one that can do both you are in business.

And why refer to him in the past tense?
Because he’s currently dead to us.
