Of course the All Blacks will be much better at Eden Park this Saturday night, but that doesn't guarantee a win.
If the loss in Sydney was indeed a wakeup call, did they need one? In terms of motivation what was wrong with bagging the Rugby Championship and the Bledisloe Cup in one swoop in Sydney? Nothing, obviously.
So what went wrong? Did the Aussies want it more? Regardless, what do we need to fix in the next six days?
Well, the scrum for a start. Then we must find a way to get Sam Cane involved and, then, get Suzie on board to poison David Pocock and Michael Hooper. But joking aside, changes need to be made.
So, who would you bring in? I'd start with Sam Whitelock returning to the starting XV, while it's time to roll the midfield dice and see what Nonu and Fekitoa can cook up together.
And Charles Piuatu has to start on the wing - but in place of whom? It would be hard to leave Nehe Milner-Skudder out after his heroics on debut.
Plenty to ponder for Steve Hansen and co, bring on the Bledisloe Cup decider and with a double dose of truth serum.
