The All Blacks may need to play harder to get.
Saturday night's second Bledisloe test at Eden Park drew a crowd of just over 25,000 people, despite pulling more than 47,000 for the first Bledisloe match the week before.
Concerns are growing the aura of the All Blacks is fading.
However former All Black captain Sir Wayne "Buck" Shelford told Mike Hosking there's a combination of reasons, one being the games were back to back.
“They didn't turn up. The weather wasn't that great anyway, you know it was pretty poor. I think we're just playing too many games, but the way they play the game's to make the money.”
That was more than likely the All Blacks' last game in New Zealand this year.
