    A pass mark from All Blacks forwards coach Jason Ryan for Tupou Vaa'i's switch to blindside flanker

    A pass mark from All Blacks forwards coach Jason Ryan for Tupou Vaa'i's switch to blindside flanker


    Vaa'i started in the six jersey for just the second time at test level in the unconvincing 31-27 win over France in Dunedin.

    Ryan says the Chiefs forward's performance was largely positive, but says there's a work-on for the entire pack.



    The All Blacks have moved on to Wellington to prepare for Saturday's second test.
