Scott Robertson: Bok showdown at Eden Park the biggest Test of my All Blacks reign

After two rounds of action in the Rugby Championship, all four teams have won one and lost one match in the competition, and only two points separate the teams in the standings.

The All Blacks are currently setting the pace at the top of the table with six points, while the Wallabies are in second position, just one point adrift, with the Springboks and Los Pumas having each amassed four points.

Meanwhile, New Zealand sit atop World Rugby's official rankings, with South Africa in second, while Australia and Argentina occupy sixth and seventh, respectively.

The All Blacks and Springboks are preparing for battle in this weekend's eagerly anticipated encounter in Auckland before they face each other in a rematch in Wellington on September 13.

Adding spice to Saturday's clash at Eden Park is the fact that the All Blacks have not lost at the venue in 31 years, while the Springboks last won a match there in 1937.

Robertson fronted the media at a press conference on Monday and was asked whether it felt like the most significant week of his tenure as All Blacks coach, to which he gave a blunt response.

"For sure. One plays two in the world, all eyes are watching," he said. "It's pretty exciting for us as a country, we've got a record that we're really proud of and we'll play for."

Robertson was also asked how he deals with the pressure that comes with the job of being All Blacks head coach and replied: "As far as your mind goes, there's a bit of future thinking that goes on and you know where it could be and what happened but then also your job is to be right here.

"So I've drawn on my experience as coaching over the years and what's really important, what wins games.

"My job is to set this team up to perform on Saturday night so that's it but you always take a couple of deep breaths and realise that the stakes are in hand and you can get on with it, step forward."

He admitted that he has embraced the pressures which come with his job as All Blacks head coach.

"There's always pressure, it's part of the job, the role and the responsibility, there's a lot of power in that pressure," said Robertson.

"There's a lot of focus that can come from it so that's our attention on our performance now. That's my job as a head coach to make sure we get all lined up for Saturday."

After being unbeaten in 50 consecutive Tests at Eden Park, Robertson knows that his side will face a tough task against the Boks, who have won their last four Tests against the All Blacks.

Robertson was asked about the All Blacks' outstanding record and how often they talk about it, and he is fully aware of the significance of maintaining their unbeaten run at Eden Park and what is at stake against their arch rivals this weekend.

"We talk about it with a lot of care, we understand the figures, the history, the facts and the occasion, and that creates enough edge in itself," he told reporters in Auckland.

"Human bodies get prepared by how the mind thinks and that occasion and half of New Zealand coming to it, it's pretty amazing every time we talk to someone they feel like you're tuning up so you can't go anywhere here and (not) realise the magnitude of it, so we're well aware of all that's in front of us."
