Wynne Gray of the New Zealand Herald casts his eye over the case of All Blacks prop Wyatt Crockett.
"In many ways Wyatt Crockett is in an awkward position.
He does not fit the standard physical description for a loosehead prop and is one of the standby quartet involved in the All Black squad preparations.
But tomorrow night at Carisbrook he steps out in the No 1 jersey for his fourth test appearance against Fiji after a year of outstanding form for the Crusaders.
When the side was revealed yesterday, other key features were the inclusion of Jarrad Hoeata for his debut, at lock, alongside the repaired Ali Williams and the start at five-eighths for Colin Slade."
