All Blacks ready to rise to another challenge, declares Beauden Barrett

In a team chock full of legends, Beauden Barrett may still have junior status but he has been an All Black long enough to know that to retain the World Cup this Saturday, they will have to go back to square one.

Last weekend’s semi-final victory over South Africa may have required a performance of epic proportions to overcome a brilliantly committed Springboks side in a 20-18 nailbiter, but the 24-year-old Barrett, who scored the second try of the match having just come off the bench, has no doubt New Zealand will have to do it all over again back at Twickenham in a final showdown with Australia.

Would it be hard to get up again for the Wallabies, he was asked.
