All Blacks star Cam Roigard has admitted that there was plenty of frustration after Rugby\u2019s Greatest Rivalry, but hopes they can get back on track in the Bledisloe Cup.<\/p>\n
New Zealand overcame the Springboks in the opening Test at Ellis Park, but then succumbed to three successive defeats to lose the series 3-1.<\/p>\n
They have had a short break before their next challenge, which is defending the Bledisloe Cup against the Wallabies in a two-Test campaign.<\/p>\n
The All Blacks have held the trophy since 2003 and it would therefore be a huge blow if they were to relinquish it this year.<\/p>\n
Wallabies confident<\/p>\n
Australia, who are unbeaten in five matches under new head coach Les Kiss, will be dangerous and the confidence of Dave Rennie\u2019s men has taken a knock after the South Africa games.<\/p>\n
Kiss\u2019 side warmed up for the Bledisloe Cup with a stunning victory over the Boks and Roigard knows that it will be a \u201cmassive challenge\u201d for his side.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been weird to be honest having such a long tour and then a few weeks off. It kind of felt like it was the end of season tour in a sense,\u201d he told Sport Nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving the longest stint is normally at the end of the campaign or the calendar year so it\u2019s been a little bit weird knowing that we were coming back in for a short stint before a long one again.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been good to have a couple of weeks off and mentally refresh after a massive campaign. There\u2019s been lots of energy in camp.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a massive challenge ahead, it\u2019s not getting any easier but we love that in this group and it\u2019s all eyes ahead for Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n
