All Blacks halfback Cam Roigard says the loss to South Africa has not been forgotten and New Zealand must carry lessons from the setback into the Bledisloe Cup opener against Australia at Eden Park.
Roigard also mentioned a "weird" feeling heading into the test, offering little further detail.
Anton Segner said the squad has turned its sights on the Wallabies match and is looking ahead.
The Bledisloe Cup opener at Eden Park is the earliest opportunity for the All Blacks to answer the Springboks loss.
