The All Blacks have called on the services of the only New Zealand coach to win the Webb Ellis Cup.

1987 World Cup winning coach Sir Brian Lochore has been asked to fulfil a mentoring role with the current squad.

Graham Henry believes Sir Brian will be extremely valuable during their campaign.

There has also been a bit of advice from champion rowers Hamish Bond and Eric Murray to another team with a world title in their sights

Bond and Murray have defended their men's pair world title in Slovenia, beating their nearest rival by two seconds.

The Kiwi pair have been unbeatable for the last two years but Bond says as the All Blacks will find, past records count for little.
