A former Wallabies assistant coach has hit out at the playing style of the All Blacks, and cites a potential end to their dominance in World Rugby if New Zealand Rugby "goes at it alone".
John Muggleton, who was the Australian defence coach for the best part of a decade and played a critical role in their 1999 World Cup win, has been keeping tabs on the development of New Zealand and Australia in the 15-man code.
The 60-year-old is currently coaching Penrith in West Sydney in the Shute Shield club competition.
Muggleton told The XV he would have no problem with NZR focusing on their domestic game and building from within, as he believes New Zealand play a generic style.
"New Zealand [today], all the teams basically have one way of playing and so do the All Blacks," he said. "They've got a centralised system and they coach pretty well the same.
