Having completed their first task with a 24-17 win over South Africa at Eden Park, the All Blacks now look to Wellington to secure the Freedom Cup and key points in Rugby Championship on Saturday.
Assistant coach Jason Ryan says the intensity of the Test match was 'right up there' and there were some sore bodies the morning after.
He says reset back to zero will be important for a good training week and they are expecting a big response from South Africa, so he is expecting a big response from the All Blacks.
Ryan says it could be a wet night again in Wellington, so they will prepare accordingly and the Boks would have seen opportunities with them.
Ryan says he was concerned with the scrums, especially in the second half when a tighthead led to a Springbok try.
Meanwhile, both hooker Codie Taylor, who failed his HIA, and wing Emoni Narawa, who has a rib injury, will be considered for the Wellington Test but he is confident Samisoni Taukei'aho can stand up to the task.
The All Blacks will take on South Africa at 7.05pm Saturday at the Sky Stadium in Wellington.
