The All Blacks need more variation in their game given their ball-in-hand"mentality" is being exploited by opposition teams, scrumhalf Aaron Smith said on Thursday.
"I think variety is key, but the mentality from our boys is to want to be able to hold the ball, build pressure and use our attack," he told reporters. Argentina needed only one try in their 25-18 win over the All Blacks in Christchurch, the visitors' first win over the hosts in New Zealand, as they built pressure and knocked over penalties.
Smith said there were honest conversations with flyhalf Richie Mo'unga about being aligned in their game plan.
