[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 595231, member: 44093"] Are you being serious? More physical than Luatua? I haven't seen him impose himself on anyone in the way Shields does at ITM level, or Luatua does at Super/test level. Luatua is a fantastic ball carrier, he gets the advantage line almost every time, that's at Super and test level. Whitelock doesn't even do that at ITM cup. I was going to suggest ball carrying as a weakness of Whitelock's game. Maybe he is just like his brother, under the radar, hits a heap of rucks and makes a lot of tackles, without really standing out in a game. I haven't seen anything from him to suggest he should be anywhere near the AB's.. most justification people give is that he was great at the under 20's. [/QUOTE]
