The All Blacks have called in lineout specialist Robin Brooke to help sort out the troubled area ahead of next week's Tri-Nations test against the Wallabies.
The former All Black lock joined the squad in Christchurch at training today.
Coach Graham Henry said he was delighted to be able to call on Brooke's services again. They did the same early in 2004.
Henry insists Brooke will not be a permanent member of the coaching staff and that he is only there for the current camp, though his expertise may occasionally be asked for again.
Wing Sitiveni Sivivatu has also been brought into the training camp this week, while Canterbury halfback Andy Ellis is in as cover for the injured Piri Weepu and Jimmy Cowan.
