All Blacks skipper Sam Whitelock appeared to be a hit with the kids at this afternoon’s captain run at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin as he gave Ben Smith’s curious daughter and follow youngsters some handy tips about the game.
Whitelock was surrounded with some of the All Blacks' kids, explaining to Smith's daughter Annabelle the reason he was strapping his legs.
"So I can get lifted in the line-out, so I can get dad (Ben Smith) so he can score tries," said Whitelock.
The 29-year-old lock also told Smith's daughter the reason why her father scores so many tries.
"He's a hungus he doesn't pass it."
Whitelock and Smith are both named to start in tomorrow's final Test against the French, lining up with four newbies who are set to make their debuts.
Loose forward Shannon Frizell and midfielder Jack Goodhue are set to start with Richie Mo'unga and Jackson Hemopo named on the bench for the All Blacks.
