New Zealand assistant coach Ian Foster has insisted that the All Blacks will not underestimate England when the pair meet at the weekend.
NZ recorded an impressive win over Wales last time out, while England have suffered successive defeats to Australia and South Africa in their autumn internationals thus far.
"It's a dangerous time to be playing England. We saw that a little bit when we played Wales on Saturday. They will have targeted us and there's no better way for redemption when you've had a couple of defeats than to knock over a top team," Foster told reporters.
"Between that and the youth they have, a little sense of adventure could come into their game. They've come off two big games so the energy levels will be pretty even and it will just be about who executes the best.
"They showed during their summer series in South Africa that they can play with a bit of width. They proved they have the ability to do that. It's going to be at least as tough as the Wales match from what we've seen. That was a very physical game and we were fortunate to execute really well in some moments and pile on a lot of pressure."
The All Blacks have remarkably won over 75% of their matches they have played since 1903.
