Henry explains Mehrtens decision

The decision not to include Andrew Mehrtens in his team to face England was not an easy one to make, according to New Zealand coach Graham Henry.

The former Wales and British Lions chief opted to keep Carlos Spencer, a player he has worked closely with since the early 1990s, in the number 10 jersey with new cap Nick Evans on the bench as cover for the full-back, fly-half and wing positions.
