When Jerome Kaino departed the Blues there was a sense of shock.
Not only was his decision to leave for Japan premature, in terms of wasting his world-class ability but, at that point, the Blues had no clear replacement.
Then along came Steven Luatua.
While he made his debut during last year's horror campaign, playing at lock and blindside flanker, Luatua's impact was not truly felt until this season. To date he's been the Blues' most consistent and influential forward in 2013.
The 21-year-old speaks with maturity beyond his years and that is reflected in his on field abilities. Some of his rugby lessons can be attributed to Kaino, the man he credits with being his mentor.
My Opinion On This Article is: I think he should have given them more notice so they had more time to get a replacement. Replacement (Steven Luatua)
