The All Blacks are treating Saturday's Bledisloe Cup rematch against Australia at Eden Park with the intensity of a "final", looking to secure the trophy before a likely five months on the road in a Covid world.

After winning the first match 33-25, despite leaking 17 points when they went off the boil towards the end, another victory in the best-of-three series would give the All Blacks the trophy for the 19th consecutive year.
