After defending the Eden Park fortress for another year, the All Blacks are now shifting their mindset to the upcoming long-term stay in Australia for this year's Tri-Nations Competition.
Speaking to media after the All Blacks 27-7 victory over the Wallabies, All Blacks coach Ian Foster highlighted that the team will be flying to Australia this Sunday.
Foster says he will let the media know in the next few days which players will be heading to Australia.
He says they have to get a final injury report to make sure that players are cleared for the trip and the goal is to take as fewer players as possible to Australia because they are keen for players to stay back and play in the Mitre 10 Cup.
The current travel bubble between New Zealand and Australia has mixed restrictions with Kiwis travelling to certain places in Australia where they are not required to self-isolate on arrival currently while travelling back to New Zealand still requires two weeks of quarantine and the borders remain open only to New Zealanders.
Foster says he expects Joe Moody and Peter Umaga-Jensen to be available to travel if needed after the pair suffered head knocks on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the third Bledisloe Cup Test is at 8.45pm next Saturday in Sydney.
