The New Zealand Herald's Wynne Gray ponders a new-look All Blacks squad for the Tri-Nations and Rugby World Cup.
"In his initial coaching days with Auckland, Henry made a number of strong selection and playing decisions. Culling great players was necessary but galling.
"Job done, Henry preferred to delegate the next stage of telling the players - it was almost too personal for him. His sentiments may have changed now, he may have hardened, but it's unlikely.
"Squeezing players into a World Cup squad will provide him with some serious torment, although injury will determine some of the choices. "Fresh is best" might be a handy mantra as the selectors look at optimum methods to rekindle some snap, crackle and pop into some jaded senior players."
