"If we’re not trying to be better then we may as well do something else and that is the attitude I am seeing."Those guys (who won the World Cup) are loving being back here and want to be better at it, and tomorrow (today) is the best place to start.”The All Blacks also start a under new regime on Saturday with Steve Hansen moving into the hot seat as head coach, and while the former policeman had brought new ideas to the side, McCaw said the structures were still similar to when he was Graham Henry’s assistant."He has got a slightly different way of doing things, but a lot is the same and I think that has made it easy to get it going this week,” McCaw said.
