An ominous warning from England's locks, five years in the making
An ominous warning from England's locks, five years in the making

All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick called Courtney Lawes by the name of former politician and broadcaster Michael Laws when he was asked about England's players before their game in 2014.
It was brought up again early in Rugby World Cup semi-final week.
Lawes was asked today if he thinks the All Blacks are familiar with the players now.
What's proved to be an elusive achievement is within touching distance for Bay of Plenty in tonight's Mitre 10 Cup Championship final against Hawkes Bay.
A win for either side would earn them promotion into the Premiership.
The Steamers haven't played in the top division since 2013.
Kiwis fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck feels time and space will be key if their new centre combo is to unlock the Kangaroos defence tonight.
