Tonight kicks off the All Blacks’ Northern Tour, the team taking on Japan in Yokohama.  

Former All Black Murray Mexted joined Piney to discuss the changes and growth the team has undergone so far this year, and where they still need to improve to have a successful tour.  

Mexted told him that the biggest weakness the South Africa tests exposed was the team’s lack of size in comparison to the ‘Boks. 

“We just weren't, literally, weren't big enough for the aerial possession battle, which we lost.”
