The Kiwi believes that the competition for starting berths in the backs is the perfect motivation for the players.
“We have a pretty high expectations of what Tommy and Keith (Earls) and Simon (Zebo) will offer,” he said.
“On the back of what the players did against Canada there’s a really good contest in that area.”
