New Zealand coach celebrates fine run
It's a special day because all the players played their role superbly, says Henry
Marseille: New Zealand coach Graham Henry celebrated "a special day" after the All Blacks outclassed France 39-12 in Marseille on Saturday to end their European tour undefeated.
"It was a special day, really, a special day because all the players who played today played their role superbly," Henry said at a news conference.
"It was good to see two teams playing attacking football because there has been some pretty boring stuff over the last year or so in rugby, and it was just a great game with two teams wanting to attack and I think it's pretty special," he added.
The New Zealand coach, whose team beat Wales, Italy and England in their previous outings, also said it was a remarkable effort "to go through the last two tours of Europe undefeated without having our line crossed.
"I'm just delighted for the guys because they put their record straight and they can feel good about their season and enjoy the summer," he added.
