Barrett believes that the intense pressure will bring out the best in the All Blacks

New Zealand back Beauden Barrett believes that the intense pressure of Saturday’s quarter-final will bring out the best in the All Blacks.

The defending champion are set for a re-match with their old nemesis France.

"It is all on the line now, it is do or die," Barrett said.

"It is why we play the game, to test ourselves and put ourselves under pressure. As All Blacks we thrive on it, so we’re looking forward to it.

"We are exactly where we wanted to be, in the quarter-finals. We are all really excited to play France in the Millennium Stadium.

"That is what we play for, these knock-out games, so really looking forward to the quarter-final this week.”
