Writing in the New Zealand Herald, Colin Meads admits that he has his concerns over the All Blacks pack.
"The performance of the forwards against Tonga has left me a little worried.
"The concern came in the second half - the moment we lost Tony Woodcock and Brad Thorn our scrum packed up. I always say good players have a 'bonus'. It means you've got a job to do, and you do your jobs, and what comes above that is a bonus.
"I think we had too many forwards who weren't doing their job - they were looking for 'plums' or 'bonuses' before they did their job.
"I thought the backs all played well, except perhaps for Toeava. Yet there weren't too many forwards who you could mark better than five (out of 10)."
