Auckland - All Blacks coach Graham Henry is not concerned over the Springboks' decision to send a weakened side to New Zealand and Australia during the Tri-Nations.

Henry said: "My thoughts on that (South Africa's policy) are immaterial. My thoughts have to be on what is best for our guys. I respect what they (South Africa) have to do and that is their strategy for this particular rugby year.

"We have to have our own strategy that we put into practice and make sure we have got a lot of communication about that," he said.

The competition is getting interesting, not so much because of the quality of the matches but more because of the teams making their moves to contest for the top spots, writes blogger Baylion.
