All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is skrikkerig for the Wallabies’ scrum ahead of their Rugby Championship clash in Perth on Saturday.
If the All Blacks lose that match and the Springboks beat Argentina in their final encounter, South Africa will be crowned champions of the southern hemisphere competition.
To stop that from happening, Hansen believes his team has to pitch up at set piece time against Australia.
Putting in the work 💪

He tells the All Blacks website: “Their set piece is working really well, they’re scrummaging really well, their lineout is running at 100 percent and they’ve always had dangerous backs so we have just got to go and try and put some pressure on their set piece.
“Their scrum is tidy and, like every scrum, they’ll have moments where they lack concentration and look poor. But I think the majority of the time they scrum really well.”
