The All Blacks assistant coach Joe Schmidt believes the pressure the All Blacks face is like nothing else in world rugby, but he's confident this year's group can win the World Cup.
The All Blacks selectors have named their squad for the Rugby Championship, with five debutants included.
Former Ireland head coach Schmidt will be in charge of the All Blacks attack as they seek to turn a team that suffered a turbulent 2022 into world champions.
RNZ's rugby reporter Joe Porter spoke to Schmidt and asked him if the pressures and external expectations faced by the All Blacks were different to those endured by Ireland.
