After months of meticulous planning, we're just one night away from the start of the Dave Rennie All Blacks era.
He'll start his tenure at the helm in Christchurch tomorrow night against France as part of the Nations Championship.
Rennie's already made his mark as a selector, handing Ruben Love a maiden start at first five.
He told Mike Hosking he’s really excited for the match – he understands the responsibility that goes with the job, but says you have to embrace it.
The coach has also dismissed the notion that France are lacking some of their top talent ahead of tomorrow's test in Christchurch.
A handful of big names including halfback Antoine Dupont and fullback Thomas Ramos aren't available, having played in the Top 14 club final last week for Toulouse.
The French side are largely made up of Bordeaux players, who won the European Championship this season.
Rennie told Hosking there is no lack of talent on the team – it doesn’t matter who they turn up with, they’ll be very good.
