[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 817217, member: 43400"] I have to disagree about the rotation stuff being given the boot. Hansen has said that there will be changes from here on in to allow for the player fatigue factor, and to some degree, he has been forced to give some players more game time to bed down the vacant positions left by all of those departing All Blacks after the RWC. I see the squad mentality, and the rotation policy as one of the key reasons for our success, as players seem to fit seamlessly in, if an injury occurs. If you couple the rotation policy, with the forward planning/succession planning, you can see parts of the reasons why we have been able to continue to dominate, but it probably inflates the scoreline/margins, as most nations have to deal with changing personnel in he year after RWC, and take time to bed down their combinations, it's just that the AB's were better prepared. I take your point about the coaching setup though; it probably helps that they actively have encouraged the likes of Beauden Barrett to play his own style, and not like Dan Carter. You can add James Lowe to your injured list too ... he had his arm in a sling two weeks ago [/QUOTE]
