Coach Dave Rennie is determined that his team will improve for the second test, warning the Boks of the significance of the series. Rennie emphasizes the importance of lifting their level of play and maintaining composure in attack, as the Boks have shown they can be tough to beat at home. The All Blacks' focus is on shoring up their scrum and reducing the number of penalties given to them. A late change in the referee for the match has been made, with Angus Gardner replacing Nika Amashukeli due to illness.",
