Sir Graham Henry: The ‘biggest’ learning from the All Blacks’ defeats to the Springboks and there are ‘some excuses’

Sir Graham Henry says that the All Blacks have learned a lot from their tour of South Africa and realise the changes that must be made.

Dave Rennie’s men went 1-0 up in Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series by beating the Springboks at Ellis Park but then suffered three straight defeats in Cape Town, Soweto and Baltimore.

Whilst the All Blacks have since bounced back, beating the Wallabies in back-to-back Bledisloe Cup encounters, Henry states that the team has taken a lot of learnings on board from the tour in South Africa, most importantly the way they train.
