Former All Blacks coach Laurie Mains expects the All Blacks to dominate Australia on Saturday night but is concerned about some of the older forwards in the squad as he looks ahead to the World Cup.
The All Blacks could look to utilise dual opensides in Richie McCaw and Sam Cane in the Bledisloe Cup decider at Eden Park on Saturday night. They have come under considerable pressure at the breakdown in their last two outings - the narrow 27-20 win over South Africa in Johannesburg and the 27-19 defeat in Sydney on Saturday night that saw Australia lift the Rugby Championship - and can't afford to be second best in this area in a third test in a row.
A lot of their game is built around recycling quickly and building pressure by holding the ball through multiple phases.
