Ryan Crotty got a homely feeling at the All Blacks' latest training but it was just a chilly wake up call for team-mate Sam Cane.
The pair were asked by media today how they felt heading out onto the field with frost on it and gave contrasting answers.
"It's just like Christchurch!" Crotty said.

"Jeez, it was cold, eh!?" Cane argued.
"It's not often I think, 'I might be training in my jacket all day'," he said.
However, Cane said the weather didn't prove to be too big an issue.
"It turned real quickly, within the space of about half an hour, 40 minutes.
"I think that's the first time we've been thankful for the 30 minute bus ride because every minute we're on that bus it gives the sun time to defrost the ground!"
The All Blacks play France on Sunday morning in Paris.
