Countdown to RWC 2019 - ABs state of the play

@Crazy-Horse The 57-0 win over the Springboks was after the Lions series.

The new ABs themed air NZ video is good, watch for George Gregan and his playful cameo at the end

Amusing how that Gregan comment is folklore now, lucky he seems a GC.

It's a good 'un. The icing on the cake being the Wallabies RWC record since that sledge.

while i know what you are saying, a lot of countries would kill for two finals and a semi final.

That exact thought went through my mind, along with their record in general. Quite some motivator is George.

True, but losing them all isn't really something to aspire to either.

Yeah, as much as I want to hate him I think he would be good value on the turps

They should just aspire to not being knocked out by an underdog when it really matters

Great analysis here
Analysis: The two shapes the All Blacks are developing for the Rugby World Cup
They realise that most teams who have beaten them since 2012, have had the fundamental approach of aggressive rush defence firmly in hand to do it. As such, Hansen and co have been introducing different approaches to counter this since 2017.

To kick, or not to kick...
The most radical change to All Blacks' rugby this World Cup cycle under Steve Hansen
The All Blacks, long the pioneers of attacking rugby, are well known to favour scoring tries. This hasn’t changed much. What has changed, though, is just how devalued the penalty goal has become to them since the last World Cup.
