All Blacks coach Scott Robertson is determined to have more success in the air against France during Saturday's second test in Wellington

All Blacks coach Scott Robertson is determined to have more success in the air against France during Saturday's second test in Wellington

10 July 2025

The French aerial assault often caught the ABs on the hop in the narrow first test win.

Robertson says the All Blacks have been focused on tidying up kick-offs and defusing bombs in training.

A number of All Blacks rejects will tackle the British & Irish Lions in Adelaide this Saturday.

David Havili will co-captain a joint Aussie and Kiwi side that also features fullback Shaun Stevenson, winger AJ Lam, centre Ngani Laumape , halfback Folau Fakatava , number 8 Hoskins Sotutu and blindside flanker Shannon Frizell.
