Wallace Sititi continued his stellar rookie Test campaign in the All Blacks’ dramatic win over England where he won Man of the Match in front of an 80,000-strong crowd in London, showcasing his explosive carry game while not missing a single of his 10 tackle attempts.
All Blacks assistant coach Scott Hansen says Sititi has been dominant around his ball carry, his influence, his speed, his change of speed.
Hansen says he’s a young, composed All Black and he’s got a long runway where he will only get better.
He says they’re really encouraged around Sititi’s performances and also the people around him that are allowing him to do that.
Wallace Sititi says firstly, it’s really about acknowledging the pressure and moving towards it.
Sititi says it’s just about listening to the leaders and listening to the senior boys who have been there and experienced that.
While he thinks he’s found his rhythm a little bit, Sititi says he doesn’t want to get comfortable, as he knows somebody can come and take his jersey just like that so it’s about being able to reset every week and being content with the way he preps.
The All Blacks will take on Ireland at 8.30am Saturday.
