Brodie Retallick

Brodie Retallick redefined what it means to be a modern lock. While he possesses the size and strength required for the set-piece, his skill set is more akin to that of a back. Retallick is an exceptional passer, a tireless worker in the loose, and a highly intelligent defender. His ability to offload in contact and his work rate around the park have made him a cornerstone of the All Blacks' success.

He is a complete forward who has set the standard for the modern second-rower, proving that size does not come at the expense of skill.
