All Blacks coach Dave Rennie has spoken about their fine history of playing at Eden Park. The All Blacks will face Ireland, one of the toughest sides in World rugby, in a showdown at Eden Park.
With a fine start to their Nations Championship so far, New Zealand looks ahead to continuing at Eden Park with a win over Ireland. However, Rennie knows that the All Blacks have to work even harder than before to get a win.
ALL BLACKS COACH DAVE RENNIE SPEAKS OF EDEN PARK AHEAD OF THEIR GAME AGAINST IRELAND
In his pre-match conference, Rennie remembered history, acknowledging that Eden Park had been a fortress. He, however, admitted that they have to prepare well.
“It’s been a fortress, it’s about us getting our preparations and our mindset right,” Dave said. He also spoke about how much they have increased their capacity, which made it even more interesting and created a great atmosphere.
At Eden Park, the All Blacks have held a 30-year-old record since their defeat to France on 03 July 1994. It was a tough contest, with France winning 23-20, and since then, it’s been win after win for the All Blacks.
Surely, either new coach Dave Rennie or captain Ardie Savea would want to end such a historic run.
FANS WANT THE HISTORY TO CONTINUE
After Dave Rennie spoke about the All Blacks’ record and Eden Park being a fortress, fans want the history to continue. Some even have some tips on how they should play to keep the history, indeed, the biggest fortress in world rugby.
@cuttygrass “We need to treat every game like it’s defending the fortress! Mindset was well off in the first half against Italy”
@Jaykob “🙌🔥big week coming up, let’s see another win👏”
@Richard, “A huge improvement is needed on discipline and defence. Attack is always exciting, but the Irish will come to play. We need to start from the get-go and not in the 2nd half. Very excited about this one!!”
@Tame Nepia ♠️ “There’s lots to improve in, but you can definitely see the improvements”
