It would be wrong, or maybe just silly, for the All Blacks to try to play down the size of opportunity that lies ahead. They can become the first Tier One side to win 18 consecutive tests and earn themselves a world record. He was also part of the All Blacks side that lost in Hong Kong when they were again closing in on the record. It is not just our record, it is the Australian's record to try to stop us from making it. That extra spice has been relished by the All Blacks who have historically struggled with this fixture in the past.
