All Blacks were ‘always going to win’ as Dave Rennie’s side won’t lose ‘silly games’ like Scott Robertson – ex-Springboks

The All Blacks won’t lose “silly games” under Dave Rennie as they did during Scott Robertson’s tenure as head coach.

That is the opinion of former Springboks hooker Hanyani Shimange after watching New Zealand defeat the Scots 43-21 at Murrayfield. This time last year, Robertson’s All Blacks team claimed a narrow 25-17 victory with Damian McKenzie scoring a late try to seal the result.

However, the performance in the Scottish capital this time around was far more comprehensive, with New Zealand keeping the hosts scoreless in the second half and adding three tries to their tally.

All Blacks won’t drop easy
