All Blacks players and coaches being inspired by their late-blooming props HAMISH BIDWELL1 NEWSAll Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster said Crotty and Cane have recovered from concussion injuries. Irrespective of what kind of All Blacks Ta'avao and Tu'inukuafe prove to be, they've gained respect within the group for their tenacity. "There's a deeper message in there that's really powerful for players and it's obvious - don't give up," said Foster. "That's the depth we've got as a country playing rugby, that's the way that you want it. But everyone's got to strive for that and I think that's what makes us such a good rugby nation."
