The All Blacks are focused on advancing their strategy after their first Test victory over England in the Steinlager Ultra Low Carb series, aiming to improve in the second Test at Eden Park.
Coach Scott Robertson told the AllBlacks.com website the importance of understanding and countering England’s defensive tactics, with training sessions dedicated to refining their game plan and execution. The team is looking to finish scoring opportunities more effectively, leveraging improved cohesion and familiarity among players.
The only change in the squad is the inclusion of halfback Cortez Ratima on the bench, with Finlay Christie starting due to TJ Perenara’s injury.
The team also addressed the legality of their scrum tactics amidst England’s concerns, underscoring their focus on connection and dominance in the scrums. With a formidable front row, the All Blacks aim to enhance their mobility and ball-playing skills while rectifying their lineout performance.
