But he insists \u2018there\u2019s not a personal agenda\u2019 about the All Blacks\u2019 World Cup run, even though New Zealand Rugby already confirmed that Scott Robertson will take over after the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You have to enjoy your work,\u2019 he said. \u2018It\u2019s not like it\u2019s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The team takes a lot of pride when they do that. The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them. As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it. There is a lot of pressure, so if you don\u2019t celebrate moments, it is a long old time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it.
