New Zealand All Blacks Coach Steve Hansen says he  will be looking to capitalise on any unnecessary risks South Africa choose to take in their World Cup opener on Saturday and who is hoping to lead the All Blacks to a third consecutive title in Japan.

The hotly‑anticipated match between the two old rivals on just the second day of the tournament is set to ignite the World Cup and Hansen is rightly wary of the Springboks following their Rugby Championship victory earlier this year.

However, Hansen is the most experienced coach in world rugby and will be ready to exploit any chances South Africa give his players.

Hansen also says that their defensive system has changed a lot and that they roll the dice big time.

New Zealand will take on South Africa at 9:45pm this Saturday.
