Fantastic Saders-Blues lineout analysis re. Cullen Grace

[convoluted]

... and I thought it was only all about lucky guesses and subtle interference psyching the opposition into the jitters ...

Cullen Grace is playing for the MABs so hopefully he gets a chance to show his stuff.

Unfortunately, with Fozzie at the helm he won’t get a proper chance until after Fozzie is sacked next year.

That’s a really interesting article. Hopefully Ian Foster’s research team had a read and can pass those details on to him in a way he can understand.

Doesn't take into account the piss poor throwing into the lineout.

He'll get his chance.

He's a good player, but he was also a good player before final, just not too many keyboard warriors had noticed and so weren't suddenly making him an AB. You can bet he is in MAB s anyway with Fosters suggestion, as him and McMillan meet and discuss who should be in there. I reckon if he reproduces a couple of times against Irish and ABs struggle at lineout he will be looked at got RC or EOYT. But I will add he's always been a good lineout forward, and it's his alrounf game he probably needs tp prove himself.
And will international teams play a Kurt Eklund against the ABs so we can take advantage.

You're never going to win 10 lineouts against the throw in grade-A internationals. But 3 genuine lineout targets give you a damn good chance of winning your own ball, which is what really matters. A loosie trio of Cane, Papalii and Savea or PGus achieves precisely the opposite. Sotutu would help that problem quite a bit, but creates others. Grace's all-round game, for what's needed at international level, is far better than any of them, even before taking lineouts into account.
