'One of us will walk through the door,' says All Blacks coach Steve Hansen ahead of test against IrelandPHIL WALTER/GETTY IMAGES All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said it is difficult for a coach to know if his players are switched on, until he sees them in action on the field. Amid all this drama Ireland coach Joe Schmidt has been like a modest fly fisherman who sheepishly feigns surprise whenever he lands a monster trout, as if it was all down to luck. "He won't change thing dramatically because he knows we won't change things dramatically," Hansen said. Like a young heavyweight boxer who caught the defending champion flush on the chin and claimed an unexpected knockout, the Irish know they won't land easy punches in the re-match. They are telling us we have lost our mystique, they have got more confidence and are not frightened of us anymore," Hansen said.
