Following last month's shock 36-34 home defeat to the Springboks in Wellington, the All Blacks are out for revenge when the two sides meet in Pretoria this weekend.

Having wrapped up the Rugby Championship in Argentina last week, the All Blacks have arrived in South Africa for Sundays's clash, and although on paper the match is a dead rubber, the All Blacks are out to restore pride, and avenge the loss in the capital.

Speaking to media, midfielder Ryan Crotty spoke about what Sunday's match means for the All Blacks.

"We're motivated for any Test," he began.

"South Africa got one over us, and we're extremely motivated to come here and put it right.

"We're an immensely competitive group - individually and as a team.

"We're always motivated to come here, but maybe that provides a little bit more."

The All Blacks face the Springboks in Pretoria on Sunday morning NZT.
