WELLINGTON: New Zealand may have taken Australia for granted ahead of their record defeat in Perth at the weekend and are determined to show what it means to be an All Black in Saturday's return match, hooker Dane Coles said on Monday.

"The hard thing to take is that we lacked intent," Coles told reporters in Auckland, where the return match takes place on Saturday. "They brought a real hunger and were desperate to get the Bledisloe Cup. There's a bit of soul-searching for the week. We need to find what it means to be an All Black."New Zealand had won 10 of their previous 11 tests against Australia before Saturday's match, often racking up big scores in the trans-Tasman Sea contests.
