All Blacks not unbeatable - Hansen
Posted by Undercover 999 on Sunday, 20 October 2013
New Zealand coach Steve Hansen insists his side will remain grounded as they prepare for a tour that could see them stay unbeaten for an entire season. The All Blacks could become the first nation in the professional era to go through a year without losing. The world champions have won all 10 Tests so far in 2013, winning the Rugby Championship title in the process. "I don't think we've got any right to go around thumping our chests saying that we're unbeatable," Hansenaid. "We'll get our feet back on the ground and stay humble and keep working hard. "We realise that if we don't, then others will come past us. That's not what we want." $render("advert","advert-companion","20570033"); $render("advert-post-script-load"); England 38-21 New Zealand highlights require( ["sportui/empswitch"], function(empswitch) { empswitch.init(); } ); New Zealand have only lost one of their 24 Tests since winning the 2011 World Cup, against England at Twickenham last November. Hansen has included five uncapped players in a 36-man squad for the All Blacks' forthcoming four-Test tour, starting in Japan on 2 November before heading to Europe to face France, England and Ireland. The Crusaders trio of prop Joe Moody, lock Dominic Bird and back-rower Luke Whitelock, Hurricanes scrum-half TJ Perenara and Blues wing Frank Halai are all included. The versatile Whitelock, who will provide number eight cover for Kieran Read, could emulate older brothers Sam and George by becoming an All Black. Bird and Perenara have both previously been named in All Blacks squads but injuries prevented them making Test debuts.
