The Fortress that is Eden Park
The All Blacks are undefeated in their last 42 Tests at Eden Park (W40, D2); their last defeat at the venue came in July 1994 against France.
Jack Goodhue, Jordie Barrett, Damian McKenzie and Anton Liernert-Brown weren't born yet when the All Blacks lost to France in 1994.
Owen Franks
The massive figure of All Blacks tighthead Owen Franks completed his 100th test match in the black jersey today.
Franks now owns the unfortunate record of becoming the first player to play 100 test without scoring a single try.
In the last decade only one other player has scored four or more test tries against a tier one nation - @ChrisAshton1 against Italy in 2011.
