It's all about the World Cup.
This comment has been made All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster comments, days out from the Rugby Championship clash against Argentina in Buenos Aires.
The All Blacks have left out key players including the great locking combo of Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock for the Argentina test on Sunday morning, saving them for the Springboks.
Foster said this is a chance to build real competition and depth in the squad, which is vital for where they want to get to over the next couple of years.
He has also refused to give any hints when the All Blacks would introduce a rising halfback to replace Tawera Kerr‑Barlow, who heads to a French club after this season.
Argentina have never beaten New Zealand in 25 attempts.
The All Blacks will take on Argentina at 10.40am Sunday while the Springboks will host the Wallabies at 3.05am.
