He'll be equally happy, if not more so, for Brodie Retallick to play the part of Brodie Retallick. The All Blacks disappointed in multiple areas of their game in Chicago, but the return of Retallick and Whitelock to the engine room and restoring Kaino to his preferred blindside role, will have a significant and immediate impact. Those three changes will make the All Blacks a different team. They will see an immediate benefit at the lineout, kick-offs, scrums and cleanouts. There is also an intangible benefit to the possible changes that could be made to the starting team.
