All Blacks coach is not expecting lions to change their style of play

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is not expecting British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland to change his team’s style of play.

Hansen’s side racked up 78 points against Samoa at Eden Park last night and face the Lions next weekend in the first of a three‑match series.

The Lions clash with the Maori All Blacks tonight and despite Gatland hinting that he would forego with his usual direct approach and tactical kicking game, Hansen is not betting on it.

The Maori All Blacks will host the British & Irish Lions at 7.35pm tonight.
