Steve Hansen has insisted this week the All Blacks won’t take tonight's opponents Canada lightly.
Despite the New Zealand side’s overwhelming status as favourites over the North Americans, who were soundly beaten by Italy first up, the All Blacks coach insists they won’t be taking things easy.
He only needs to look at Japan’s win over Ireland as confirmation anything is possible at the tournament.
“We’ve always had a philosophy - play what’s in front of you. If it’s time to push it, we’ll push it. If it’s not on to push it, we’ll do something else,” he told reporters.
“We had a great reminder the other day of that, didn’t we?”
Hansen said his side’s heavy defeat by Australia in Perth was also a reminder danger was lurking everywhere when teams want to steal your crown.
“If you disrespect the opponent you’re playing you’ll get a punch on the nose. We did that in Perth. We can’t afford to do that again.”
Hansen has made 11 changes to the starting line-up for tonight's game from the squad that beat South Africa first-up 23-13 with the big talking point being Rieko Ioane getting recalled on the wing.
Ioane has struggled for game time this season, having seemingly been overtaken by Sevu Reece and George Bridge.
Reece and Bridge drop out of the 23, with Jordie Barrett wearing the number 14 jersey.
Scott Barrett, captain Kieran Read, Richie Mo'unga, and Beauden Barrett are the only four retaining their place tonight.
The Mo'unga-Barrett first-five/ fullback combo continues, while Atu Moli, Liam Coltman and Angus Ta'avao make up an inexperienced front row with just 17 caps between them.
Ardie Savea will also come off the bench for the Test where he will debut his new goggles after confirming earlier this week he would use the headwear to protect his eyes.
