ABs in good shape for final World Cup push

10:56 am on 18 October 2011

The All Blacks start the final phase of their World Cup programme today, building up to Sunday night's decider against France at Eden Park.

They've had a day of rest and recovery, and despite the enormous amount of blood spilt on both sides in their semi-final against the Wallabies, coach Graham Henry says the squad's virtually injury free at the start of the final week.

Without being specific, Henry says there'll be adjustments to their game plan for Sunday night's final.
