A towering presence in the opening encounter against the Lions, the 2014 world player of the year continues to set the second-row bar mightily high.
His partnership with Sam Whitelock in the second row is flourishing thanks to the pair complementing one another’s skills so well.
It seems that no matter what the job Rettalick is always up for it, both in attack and defence.
