Fullback Beauden Barrett says 50% possession will be enough for the All Blacks to retain the Bledisloe Cup.
Barrett said New Zealand's new backline formation was ready to unleash tomorrow and only needed some ball.
Richie Mo'unga took over as All Blacks five‑eighth in the 16‑16 draw with South Africa in Wellington and stayed there for last week's 47‑26 thrashing by Australia in Perth, with Barrett finding his feet at fullback on both occasions.
New Zealand's early struggles up front and lack of possession in both Tests meant the pair couldn't get traction.
It left critics questioning why Barrett had been shifted from the role of general.
TVNZ reports Barrett was wearing the No.10 jersey last year when he scored a world‑record four tries in the demolition of Wallabies at Eden Park. He has twice been named world player of the year at five‑eighth.
The Wallabies meet the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Cup decider at Eden Park at 7.35pm tomorrow.
