(Reuters) - Having garnered only faint praise from their 33-25 win over Australia, the All Blacks have pledged to work harder in the second Bledisloe Cup clash at Eden Park on Saturday to close out the series with a match to spare.

After a slow start in the first test over the weekend, the All Blacks won with a three-try burst after half-time but conceded three late five-pointers to flatter the Wallabies.
