In a bid to reclaim momentum, New Zealand coach Scott Robertson has reintegrated key players for an upcoming, critical Rugby Championship test against Australia. The return of scrumhalf Cortez Ratima, lock Patrick Tuipulotu, and hooker Codie Taylor, alongside fit-again Cameron Roigard, is expected to bolster the squad following injuries.

The All Blacks are eager to bounce back from a record 43-10 defeat by South Africa, their heaviest in over a century, and maintain their standing in the Rugby Championship race. With only nine days since the Wellington collapse, Robertson admits the team is still deciphering that game's second-half drop in performance.

Despite past setbacks, Robertson encourages his team to embrace consistency without relying on adversity for motivation. As the All Blacks prepare for the high-stakes encounter, history favors them, as Australia hasn't secured a win at Eden Park since 1986.
