    Not quite 'Masters of the Air' - but a much improved aerial attack from the All Blacks has helped them to a 24-17 win over the Springboks at Eden Park

    Not quite 'Masters of the Air' - but a much improved aerial attack from the All Blacks has helped them to a 24-17 win over the Springboks at Eden Park


    The All Blacks were well beaten in the air last time out against Argentina - but managed to retrieve significantly more ball on home soil - even with the loss of returning wing Emoni Narawa to a rib injury.

    Coach Scott Robertson says they had a much improved night.



    Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has also given the points-decision in the air to the All Blacks.
