All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie has claimed that "no team in the world" is dominating the aerial battle ahead of the Wallabies rematch in Sydney.
Dave Rennie addressed the All Blacks' high-ball strategy, arguing that no team in world rugby currently dominates the aerial contest. New Zealand showcased tactical adaptations at Eden Park against the Wallabies by reclaiming several high box kicks from Cam Roigard, which created crucial attacking momentum.
Rennie explained that utilizing a retreating catcher technique significantly reduces the risk of conceding soft blocking penalties. This tactical adjustment helped set up an opening try for Peter Lakai after Jordie Barrett competed in the air against Joseph Suaalii, following earlier aerial difficulties during the tour of South Africa.
