He’s busted his gut for the
Crusaders, travelled around the world and maintained his usual high standards of skill and professionalism.
He’s tackled, rucked and mauled to his heart’s content. While his body should be battle-scarred and wearied the rugged blindside flanker feels far from it.
He bounced his way around at an intensive training on Thursday looking like it was his first run of the season.

As drenched Sydneysiders moan about the wettest July in 61 years, the Springboks are privately ‘‘Singin’ in the Rain’’, hoping the deluge continues and bogs the Wallabies’ new-age Gene Kellys.

Most importantly, Whitelock can’t wait to get back out on the paddock.
‘‘I’m pretty pumped about getting back out there,’’ he said.
‘‘I had a good freshen up after finishing with the Crusaders and spent a few days down in Dunedin and completely switched myself off from all things rugby really.
‘‘So far it seems to have worked too. I felt really good running around at training this week, and getting back out and playing some rugby is going to be great.’’
His wait to get back in the firing line won’t be long, in fact as soon as this afternoon.
Back in the Canterbury
ITM Cup starting lineup and named as captain, Whitelock will run out onto Rugby Park today in his first game since the end of the Super Rugby.
His Canterbury side will look to firstly defend the Ranfurly Shield from the very side from whom they took it last year, Southland, and continue their march towards a fourth consecutive championship. wonderkids Kurtley Beale, Digby Ioane, James O’Connor and Quade Cooper tonight.
