All Blacks halfback Cam Roigard says the loss to South Africa still stings and New Zealand must take lessons from that defeat into the Bledisloe Cup opener against Australia at Eden Park.

Roigard also spoke of a "weird" feeling heading into the test, offering little further detail.

Anton Segner said the squad has shifted attention to the Wallabies match and is ready to push forward.

The Bledisloe Cup opener at Eden Park is the earliest opportunity for the All Blacks to bounce back from the Springboks setback.
