All Blacks coach Scott Robertson says his side is ready to play fast, think fast and adapt fast when they take on France in their second Test.

Robertson says the team has the skill set to deliver, even if the wind suddenly comes in off the Strait, they adapt and play to the wind in the rain as well.

Meanwhile, France coach Fabien Galthié says their starting lineup was always part of the plan to rotate and expose players quickly in their tour of New Zealand.

He says they brought the players to the end of the world, they have to play and they absolutely wanted to play them as quickly as possible.

The All Blacks take on France at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin at 7.05 tonight.
