Complacency biggest enemy for All Blacks

THE All Blacks have adopted a “we’re second, they’re first” mentality to avoid over-confidence going into the second Test against the Lions tomorrow.

After demolishing the tourists 21-3 in the first Test, the All Blacks have every reason to feel confident of wrapping up the series, forcing coach Graham Henry to say complacency was the biggest enemy.

After surprisingly making three changes, Henry said he was replacing players of similar ability, but he also left the distinct impression he was giving his squad the message that no one’s place was safe.
