All Blacks will either win big or lose with a close score – ABs Legend Eric Rush

All Blacks Legend Eric Rush says the All Blacks are either going to win big or lose with a close score to the Fiji Water Flying Fijians today.

Rush highlighted this to the media at the San Diego Marriott Hotel at Mission Valley last night.

He says if the All Blacks do not put a big score on the Flying Fijians then they are in a big danger of losing.

With Mick Byrne and Scott Robertson moving from Super Rugby teams to National sides, Rush says the coaches know each other really well and Byrne was also involved with the All Blacks for a long time.

Rush says there will not be any secrets from Byrne as he knows what their guys are like but Robertson has a new way of doing things now.

He says the importance of bringing a game like this to the US is really big as the Fijians play the best brand of rugby in his opinion.

The Legend says if anything is going to catch the Americans’ attention, it is going to be the Fijian flair.

The Flying Fijians play the All Blacks at 2.30 this afternoon at Snapdragon Stadium, San Diego.
