All Blacks can’t take victory for granted: Henry

ALL BLACKS coach Graham Henry has underlined the degree of difficulty facing his Grand Slam hopefuls over the next four weeks.

Henry’s men are bidding to become the first New Zealand side since 1978 to achieve a quick-fire clean sweep of victories over Wales, Ireland, England and Scotland.

The campaign begins against Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday, and New Zealand will start as red-hot favourites given their achievements already this year in demolishing Sir Clive Woodward’s Lions and then winning the Tri-Nations title.
