Spending close to four months away from their loved ones, the All Blacks are making sure they take care of each other, as they prepare for Sunday's Bledisloe Cup test against Australia.
Back on this side of the ditch, with the country in COVID-19 lockdown, domestic players remain isolated, but the NZ Rugby Players Association is taking steps to look after their welfare.
With teams not allowed to get tight together again until Alert Level 2, the NPC, Farah Palmer Cup and Heartland Championship are up in the air.
"Players are really proactive in their preparation," says NZRPA player services manager James Parsons.
"They're always keen to know a plan and that's the biggest thing is when they know what the plan is, they can readjust their plans to that and then control what they can control.
Parsons says communication is seen as massive for player wellbeing and hugely beneficial in delivering what they need.
"Everyone went in thinking they'll be done by the end of November, but now the goalposts have changed, so it's on us working alongside each individual situation and how that best fits."
And even once teams can link up, it won't mean immediately playing.
"It's more the contact progression, scrum load, that'll be key," says Parsons. "And it's working out what's the best amount of time to get up to speed, so you can rip in."
The All Blacks are just as aware of what support is needed back home, given they're facing months on the road.
"We're just really conscious and NZ Rugby has been great in making sure the families are well looked after, because it makes our jobs easier knowing they're OK," says assistant coach John Plumtree.
