All Blacks scrum

On Henry's words, the scrum will be the most affected area after Hayman and Jack leaving for the northern hemisphere.

Perhaps that's the reason for kiwis to turn their attention to their natural backups: Neemia Tialata, John Afoa and even youngster Ben May. The second row is more of an issue as veterans Brad Thorn and Troy Flavell are currently the best options to join Ali Williams.

I have found this video about scrummaging drills that these All Blacks used to practice.

I wouldn't worry about GRaham Henry thinking about the front row....the dearly departed can be admirably replaced by Afoa, Tialata, and the Schawger(?) brothers....Afoa is a beast and unlucky,like Flavell, not to be selected to the All Blacks. Behind them you will find any number of props waiting in the wings.
The biggest problem Henry has is trying not to put anybody to sleep in his headmaster lectures. The game is beyond that now.

Being my mother tongue spanish, I have never found a person whose english is so damn undecipherable as Henry's.

So I would sleep, too despite I like him.

that's not the only thing about Henry that is undecipherable.....he doesn't have any thing to prove...he already has the artillery.

ACTUALLY ON SECOND LOOK IT WAS AN EXCEALLENT DISPLAY of set skills.

Unfortunately Anton Oliver is there which makes the film pussyish.
