However, in the 2007 World Cup, the All Blacks were defeated in the Quarter-Finals by France. This marked the start of an uncharacteristically tough patch for the AB's with them ending up being rated bottom by some commentators as for the upcoming Tri-Nations competition against Australia and South Africa.
Dr Spackman worked in the background with the players and coaches as to reinforce some of the mental tools contained in the Winner's Bible.
The All Blacks then went on to dominate the Tri Nations championship posting record victories before touring Europe and achieving an undefeated Grand Slam of England, Ireland and Wales. At the end of the season the All Blacks were once again rated World #1 and the coach won the International Coach of the Year Award
