Lead trainer Ian Foster made it clear last year that the best way to break the All Blacks was to zero in on a solitary and one position.
"Truly, with regards to a World Cup crew, [versatility] turns into a major variable since you're restricted to fewer players, and your substitution conventions are unique," he said.
"However, while you're picking an in the middle between years, you're truly taking a gander at individuals who can truly have an edge in a place that will add to your game."
Encourage was alluding to David Havili at that point - a man who had battled to battle his direction back into the side until he was given a drawn-out run in the No 12 shirt for the Crusaders, rather than fluttering across the backline - yet a similar message could similarly apply to free forward Luke Jacobson.
Jacobson has been famous with the public selectors for different years and was remembered for the All Blacks group to venture out to Japan for the 2019 World Cup regardless of having only one seat appearance to his name when the crew was first named. While blackout diminished his season - and other wounds also kept him out of the side in 2020, the previous New Zealand Under 20s skipper had returned to his best last year and procured ten additional appearances for the All Blacks all through their 15-game mission.
