Steve Hansen says that the All Blacks won't be able to blame injuries if they deliver another poor performance against France in Paris on Sunday.
A shocking injury run in 2017 sees the All Blacks missing key names such as Ben Smith, Owen Franks, Israel Dagg, Nehe Milner-Skudder and others - although Hansen simply says that it offers chances to other players.
"Once you get over the disappointment of losing them then you've got to look at the positives," he said.
"We're giving other people an opportunity to grow."
"It is what it is - we've just gotta get on with it."
