All Blacks to 'rise to the pressure' in return to Eden Park - Razor

The All Blacks are returning to Eden Park to defend their record. 

Coming off the back of the worst-ever defeat just 12 days ago against South Africa, they're set to host the Wallabies in the Bledisloe Cup opener on Saturday. 

There are six changes to the side, with Ardie Savea taking over the captaincy from an injured Scott Barrett.  

Coach Scott Robertson told Mike Hosking the pressure of performing at Eden Park is still there, but he would describe it as a gift. 

He says people care so deeply about performing in a place with so much history, and their gift is to earn it again. 

“You’ve just gotta rise to it – that’s the key.”
