WELLINGTON: All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick was sweating on his fitness for the Rugby World Cup until a couple of days before making the squad but is now more confident his shoulder injury will clear up in time for him to make some contribution in Japan.
Coach Steve Hansen said on Wednesday Retallick had been selected with the expectation he would probably need to sit out the entire pool phase and target a comeback for the quarter-finals on Oct. 19-20.The injury forced Hansen to select four locks for the tournament, with Patrick Tuipulotu joining Retallick, Sam Whitelock and Scott Barrett.
