All Blacks 'a little bit flat this year' - Laurie Mains

From Morning Report, 7:27 am on 19 November 2018

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is predicting big improvements once the team locks in changes they are trying to make to the way they play. The All Blacks lost to Ireland yesterday morning, going down 16-9 in Dublin. Its the Irish teams second win ever against the All Blacks and their first at home game. All Blacks coach Steve Hansen says the Irish converted their chances into points. The loss came a week after the All Blacks only just headed off England, winning by a single point. So what will it take for the All Blacks to regain their aura of invincibility heading into next year's World Cup in Japan? Laurie Mains is a former All Blacks coach.
