Righto, where do the All Blacks need to improve for Boks round 2 and Wallabies 1?

I reckon in the last 4 weeks they have really come on in leaps and bounds to the point where even this mob are worthy holders of the Number 1 world ranking. I guess by saying that I am also saying they ought to win next week too- otherwise the ranking will be very short-lived and not so worthy!

I do think next week will again be a massive challenge as I think de Villiers will correct some of his bad selections and will also now have specific players and plays to analyse. I think some of the Bok players will smell the opportunity to cement permanent positions in the number 1 Springbok side with big showings next week, and this is their last opportunity until 2009 to break their losing streak to us at home, so they will not lack for motivation!

I think the scrum needs a bit of work - not the front end, but the back end. Ellis and Kaino (if indeed Kaino stays at 8 for next week's match) need to work better on their combination off the back especially since we can expect to have a solid platform in this area again next week (provided that Thorn's loss isn't too much of a hindrance).

I also think we could look to develop some midfield kicking options now that the centre pairing is well established. The kicking by Carter turned the Bok defence around and opened up space nicely... If Conrad and Nonu had kicking games it might open up a bit more uncertainty in the minds of the opposition defence.

I think our lineout is always going to need work, and especially with Thorn out of the picture.

Any other areas the coaching staff should focus on this week?
