Forwards coach Jason Ryan said New Zealand have a plan to “take some gas” out of the Springboks’ substitutes when the teams clash in the World Cup final on Saturday.
The arch-rivals are gearing up for a blockbuster decider at the Stade de France to this year’s tournament in France, the Kiwis outclassing Argentina 44-6 in the semi-finals before the Boks edged England 16-15 in their last-four match.
Speaking in an All Blacks conference on Tuesday ahead of this weekend’s showdown in Paris, Ryan was asked about facing the formidable Bomb Squad again, and quipped: “It would be good to take some gas out of that bomb, wouldn’t it? “I am proud of all of them. They’ve all been competing. We’ve got faith in the lot of them. Accuracy is a big part of discipline. Often you talk about discipline but you’ve got to be accurate.On controlling their emotions with players like Aaron Smith retiring from Test rugby after Saturday, Ryan added: “We’ve talked about farewells. We’ve talked this week about being the best that we can.
