"One thing we understand in this group is that you don't own the jersey and you don't own the job you do in the team," he stressed. Hansen said one important element that has not changed is that the great All Blacks teams have all had forwards who can carry the ball constructively, pass and catch. They're so great at it because of their fitness levels."
The biggest step-up they've made is in their defence, where they've got the aggressive press. "In the past, we always scored tries against them because they employed the drift defence. They kick the ball to get it back," he said.
They kick on you until you kick badly, then they punish you. "Their attacking kicks are meant to put you under pressure. Six of his most senior players, including Richie McCaw and Dan Carter, retired and he set about rebuilding the side under new leader Kieran Read.īut while their running game drew plaudits, former Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer singled out the All Blacks' kicking game and defence as being crucial. They are coached by top coaches and it shows," he said.Īfter the All Blacks won the World Cup last year, becoming the first team to successfully defend the title, Hansen drew a line in the sand and said it was time to start again.

In the golden era of the 1960s, the playing squad was complemented by one coach and one manager while the current All Blacks have an army of positional and fitness coaches, as well as medical staff and dieticians. McCormick, a pioneer of the running fullback role, also noted the greater preparation afforded the modern teams. "We played a pretty open game and moved the ball around a lot but the modern boys move it a lot more and attack from all angles." "We didn't count the wins, we went out to win every game. "To be honest, in the old days you didn't take count," he told AFP on Friday.
