The All Blacks are embracing their Johannesburg welcome as they prepare to play at one of the toughest rugby venues on Sunday morning. \xa0

Several members of the playing squad and staff are on their first visit to South Africa. \xa0

New Zealand coach Scott Robertson played in the 46-40 test defeat at Ellis Park in 2000, but secured the 2017 Super title at the venue as Crusaders mentor.\xa0

Beauden Barrett told Mike Hosking that they haven't been overtraining early in the week, but by the time they hit the ground on Sunday, they\u2019ll be ready to go.\xa0

He said that the game will likely go right up until the 80th minute, and the win will go to whoever is going to work the hardest. \xa0
