    A balancing act for the All Blacks to avoid being underdone come crunch time at the 2027 Rugby World Cup


    New Zealand's been drawn with hosts Australia, along with minnows Hong Kong and Chile, in Pool A.

    They're poised to meet another low-ranked team in the round of 16, before a likely brutal quarterfinal meeting with defending champions South Africa.

    Coach Scott Robertson's offered his thoughts on the scenario.



    The draw will be released early next year - New Zealand and Australia in the likely opening match in Perth.
