Tonight, as the All Blacks coaches and selectors take their seats at Westpac Stadium for the clash between the Hurricanes and Chiefs, they might be waiting for one thing in particular - a kickable penalty or conversion attempt for the visitors.
As the All Blacks' No10 in waiting following Dan Carter's move to France, Aaron Cruden will want the tee delivered to him, and the selectors probably will too; the June tests against Wales are rapidly approaching and they will want a goalkicker in their team who has practised his art under the pressure of competition matches, rather than endless repetition at training.
Cruden, in the form of his life everywhere else on the park, has kicked only once this season - against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires - before Damian McKenzie was instructed to take the tee from him in that match, a narrow win.
McKenzie, the little Chiefs fullback enjoying a season to remember himself, was in sole charge of the goalkicking duties before that match and has had them since; leaving Cruden's success ratio at 25 per cent with one out of four attempts.
