All cogs working in All Black lineout

8:56 am on 13 July 2010

The All Blacks lineout will be put under pressure this weekend but forwards coach Steve Hansen believes it is working well at the moment.

Hansen was under huge pressure during last year's Tri-Nations when the lineout was close to a shambles.

However they didn't lose one lineout throw in the first Tri-Nations test against the Springboks and stole 3 from the visitors.

The turn-around has coincided with the arrival of Highlanders lock Tom Donnelly, but Hansen says every forward needs to do his job right to have the lineout working well.
