Going sideways, and getting beaten up by their rivals.
That's former All Blacks halfback Ant Strachan's assessment of the current team after they fell into an even deeper hole thanks to yesterday morning's loss to the Springboks in South Africa.
The result - which heaps further pressure on head coach Ian Foster - means the New Zealand side have now lost five of their last six - and are set to slip to an all-time low of fifth in the world rankings.
Sports reporter Clay Wilson spoke to 11 test halfback Strachan, who started with his thoughts on Foster's assertion that their effort against South Africa was "in many ways their best performance of the season".
