Brodie vs Stormers
I dunno Luke ou Makkie is the expert on these matters and he reckons all Kiwi teams have a crap tight five and hes never wrong .Except when he is .
How did that happen? Retallick -
* made 11 tackles against the 13 of Du Toit;
* Du Toit and Van Zyl took two line outs from him on Chiefs throw-in, so he took up the line out position opposite Van Dyk - the Stormers no 7; and
* 8 ball carries making 11 meters was nothing to write home about..
Very average I am afraid - so bluff yourself if you want to.
The st ory about MOM is a farce. I think the one to be was McKenzie. I deal with facts not fiction and MOM is normally fiction based on one incident.
...notsoclevermike if you consider how meek the Lions have become without their leaders in the forward pack i.e Marx, Whitely and Kriel ... and the stat that best measures leadership and the inspiration these players provide is the win or loss one....if you can understand that then you'll start to understand what value Retallick brings to the Chiefs...
Brodie is a world class player and one of the best locks in the game.
