Watch: Locks just shouldn't be able to do this
By Online Editors
Young lock Taine Plumtree takes an intercept before throwing a round-the-corner one-hand flick pass to his teammate during the New Zealand Barbarians match against Tonga.
These kinds of skills you would expect of a precious back, not from your main lineout option. Taine is the son of Hurricanes forwards coach John Plumtree who we are sure will be having a word with his son.
Only in New Zealand schoolboy rugby do you see such a thing.

Leinster B team a bit rich they’re an excellent side with the best of sport science coaching behind them making the utmost of their personnel. Rugby SA and Rassie the wizard need to find some better coaching talent from seomewhere for our franchises they're falling behind. Plumtree isn't bad but he's not up there with the big boys even Jake just makes the cut. With better coaching and use of our super talented Sharks personnel the Sharks would be unbeatable.
Go to commentsCredit to Leinster. Sharks are heroes against average opposition, and zeros against well-coached teams. Amazing, given the awesome roster.
Plumtree says it was only one score. Hello? Some thoughts: 1/ The best coaches never say that, and 2/ an incremental maul try would not change the fact that the team was boring and static in attack.
Suggestion for Neil Powell: Stop doing whatever you are doing, and do whatever it takes to hire a coaching team with vision.
