Brodie Retallick has had an outstanding last twelve months.
The talented young lock earned a call into the All Blacks in 2012
after an impressive Investec Super Rugby debut season. One of
the strongest locks in the competition last year, Retallick was a key
driving player for the Chiefs forward pack. He was presented the
Chiefs Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year awards. With his
massive work rate and mobility the former 2011 World Champion
New Zealand Under 20 member has a long bright future ahead.
