Attention to the breakdown will be the All Blacks focus heading into their second Test with Fiji in the Steinlager Series at Hamilton on Saturday.
All Blacks assistant coach Brad Mooar said on Sunday in Dunedin there had already been plenty of talk about the breakdown after Saturday s 57-23 win by the All Blacks.
But while the discussion centred on the physicality the Fijians managed, Mooar said the All Blacks were also physical.
If I was playing us, I d be pigging into that space as well, slowing that type of ball down and not giving us that quick ball to play off and show our skill set, he said.
The 25-year-old was considered unlucky by some not to crack Ian Foster’s initial squad for the three July tests, such was his strong Super Rugby form. Ross, who captained Bay of Plenty to the 2019 Mitre 10 Cup Championship title, has played 47 matches for the Chiefs since his debut in 2017. Having missed the opening match of this season with a knee injury, Ross came off the bench the following week against the Crusaders in Christchurch in a game where the visitors’ scrum was destroyed. However, the Sydeny-born, former New Zealand Under-20 rep then proved a central figure in the team’s stunning scrum turnaround, starting in the No 1 jersey through the rest of the Aotearoa and trans-Tasman campaigns, aside from when he was rested for two matches.
