The All Blacks are focusing on getting back on their feet and improving on areas that cost them in their 33-7 loss to the Springboks in their last Rugby World Cup warm-up match and their 27-13 RWC opener loss to France last week.
Lock forward Scott Barrett says the nature of their consecutive losses to South Africa and France differed, but a lack of determination was not an issue in either game.
Barrett says there is plenty of hunger and drive in the group as they prepare for their second RWC clash against Namibia this weekend.
He says there is plenty of fuel in the tank and they want to keep getting better as well as not to lack the drive off the back of that loss to France.
The All Blacks will play Namibia at 7am Saturday in Toulouse.
