We’ve got work to do, says All Blacks boss Rennie

“We have a lot more people with good time (under their belts), and there is really good competition for spots, so I think that is really important heading into the (first) Test in a couple of weeks.”“We are trying to build the way we want to play, and the conditions made it difficult to shift the ball, but I thought overall we did a good job there on the back of a really solid defensive effort.

First Test looming However, the main goal for the All Blacks in these games has been getting more time on the field into their extended squad so that they are all aligned by the time they face the Springboks in the opening Test next weekend, and from that perspective Rennie is happy.
