Credit to loosies for Cape Town win

10:25 am on 18 August 2008

The All Blacks coach says his loose forwards helped set up Sunday morning's 19-0 Tri-Nations Test win against South Africa in Cape Town.

Graham Henry has guided his side to a five-point lead at the top of the competition and for the first time New Zealand kept the Springboks scoreless in the Republic.

The All Blacks won the battle at the breakdown and Henry says captain Richie McCaw was inspirational.
