The mighty All Blacks arguably the greatest ever team in modern sporting history based on win % of international test matches won and other statistics have had a difficult time of recent.
Wether the other teams have caught up through their own input (money and otherwise) or the true international nature of the sport with international rugby coaches genuinely spreading their knowledge or just a rebuilding of personnel at player and management level and /or combination of both. They are the All Blacks and teams raise their level when given the opportunity and this is no exception with Uruguay.
This team will want to prove that they are up their with their South American peers and give the New Zealand team a fright!
