All Blacks Assistant coach Steve Hansen has questioned whether the Wallabies have any respect for the All Blacks.
The subject arose out of questions about the All Blacks’ dominance at Eden Park, a ground where the Wallabies haven’t won since 1986 and have only won four times in 22 attempts in Auckland.
Hansen said that in the buildup to this match Deans’ new breed of Wallabies have been quick to dismiss things like ground hoodoos and being weighed down by history.
He added former Wallabies have joined suggesting Aussie flanker David Pocock is better than Richie McCaw!
He stressed that allowing the Wallabies to gain an edge at Eden Park on the eve of the tournament, is a scenario the All Blacks are desperate to avoid.
The All Blacks and Wallabies match kicks off at 7:35pm on Saturday.
