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.

SBW’s bro’town commentary and lazy default to hyperbole should be ignored, a technical analyst he is not. Sotutu is a good player when games get goosey loosey, high skill set that fans of Zinzan recall with starry eyes. But you need power and mongrel at no8 in the Test arena and Sotutu gets found wanting there, much like Akira Ioane. No8’s like Zinzan and Ardie have bucketloads of mongrel and power and tenacity which allow the skill sets to flourish.
