What the coaches have said:
Andy Farrell: Speaking during the week, he said "
"A lot of our lads get to have an opportunity to go again.
"To be honest, the lads are in a good place. Thursday before the Test match, you'd expect them to be, but even early in the week.
"There's a bit of doubt creeps in when you don't know the answers, but they know the answers, they know the bits they need to get right, they know the access they gave the All Blacks and they understand you can't do that because they know first half you'll be behind your own posts.
"There have been a few things to fix like there is in every week, but we've had a good training week, and the captain's run tomorrow."
Ian Foster: “They are a smart rugby team and they are trying to evolve what they do as well.
“We saw a team who has got a pretty good understanding of what they want to achieve, so their clarity of roles and their intentions and how they move collectively as a group is really strong.
“It’s probably their best strength. That makes them a hard team to break down. I’m pretty sure they will pick up a few things. I’m pretty sure they didn’t enjoy last week in terms of the result. I know they are a smart rugby team and they will come back strong.”
🗣"The lads are in a good place...they know the answers, they know the bits they need to get right."
