New Zealand coach Steve Hansen believes Australia will be feeling the pressure heading into their Rugby Championship clash with the All Blacks on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 3HD.
The All Blacks, who are the world No 1 in rugby union, take on the Wallabies in the opening fixture of the Bledisloe Cup in Sydney, with New Zealand looking to extend their stranglehold on the trophy.
New Zealand have won the cup for the last 12 years in a row and coach Steve Hansen insisted the pressure will be on Australia to put a stop to their losing streak when the teams take to the field.
"There's pressure on the All Blacks all the time," Hansen told the Australian Rugby Union website.
"That's where we live. Everyone wants to beat us and we want to keep winning .You're kidding yourself if you think that any test match there is not pressure on both sides.
"Again if you look at what's happened for them recently, I think they've lost their last four games, that'll create pressure, haven't won a Bledisloe for the last 13 years, that'll create pressure.
"There's as much pressure on them as there is us. They're kidding themselves if they don't think they got any pressure."
Earlier this week, Australia coach Michael Cheika claimed that the All Blacks don't give the Wallabies any chance of winning in the upcoming fixture but Hansen dismissed these suggestions, insisting that they treat each individual opponent with respect.
"To be honest, if anyone looks at our record and we've been reasonably successful, [you're not] successful if you don't respect the opposition, so I think they're kidding themselves if they think we're not respecting them," he said.
"If you look at what they're saying and that I think they're building their own siege mentality and that's fine, that's what they've got to do and we certainly respect them.
"They're a good side, full of world class players and at home they're hard to beat so we're going to have to front up and play well."
