Rugby: Henry’s new All Black blueprint

NEW All -Black coach Graham Henry hardly waited for the ink to dry on his contract yesterday before saying there were changes coming to New Zealand rugby.

Henry stressed that while the expansive style promoted by his predecessor John Mitchell would remain, more attention would be paid to improving the All Blacks' forward power.

Mitchell was praised throughout his two years at the helm for the 15-man, fast-paced style he favoured which produced a swag of point-scoring records.
