All Blacks' heads in the game ahead of Bledisloe Cup

As the All Blacks prepare physically to face the Wallabies, getting their minds right will be just as important.

It's not a word you'll hear around the team but "complacency" could be a natural response to 14 years of Bledisloe success.

The All Blacks insist the Wallabies won't be taken for granted.

"They'll be really desperate to get their hands on the trophy and we're the same regardless of how many years we've had it, we've got the same desperation to hold on as tight as we can," All Black loose forward Jerome Kaino says.

Across town, the Wallabies insist the drama gripping Australian rugby hasn't impacted on them.

"I think the boys believe now more than ever that this coming weekend we can beat the All Blacks," Wallabies prop Adam Coleman says.

Last year's game was well short of a sellout and this year; the Australian Rugby Union admits tickets sales have been slower than normal.

"Our focus is the game, and that's the biggest thing regardless of what the headlines are or what people are talking about, that's the most important thing for us," Kaino adds.
