All Blacks assistant coach Wayne Smith, talking to the Dominion Post, hints at a change in New Zealand's tactics ahead of the World Cup.
"There will be as much intrigue in the All Blacks' ulterior tactics as the first players chosen to implement them in next week's opening test against Fiji.
With many of the extended 34-man squad suffering from fatigue and disrepair, the two-day camp in Auckland this week consisted of classroom lessons, rather than outdoor preparations.
Clarity of game plan was the focal message delivered by former headmaster Graham Henry and his assistants as the squad were schooled on how best to adjust their skills from Super Rugby to the international arena.
All three All Blacks coaches have sat back, for six months, analysing the ever-changing rugby landscape across both hemispheres."
