The All Blacks need to be asking serious questions about their own technical expertise according to Gregor Paul in the New Zealand Herald.
"The problem has been there all season. It's just been hard to see, partly because neither Australia nor South Africa were good enough up front to fully expose the All Blacks' scrummaging weaknesses and partly because the dysfunctional lineout grabbed all the attention.
"The All Blacks have regressed significantly in an area where they could recently have claimed to be the best in the world. The departure of Carl Hayman in 2007 was the beginning of the slide. No side can lose a man of his calibre and not feel it."
