Hansen has restored most of the players from shock defeat to the side for Sunday morning's rematch in Dublin. Hansen said it's a possibility that some players in Chicago were more concerned with other things. "[The players were] spending a lot of time worrying about what the Cubs were doing," says Hansen. Hansen said the Chicago defeat was a shock for a number of players, some of whom had never lost before as All Blacks.
