SOUNDBITE: (English) Aaron Cruden, New Zealand fly half (asked if he had learnt a lesson after being dropped from the team for missing a flight to Argentina):

"Yes, absolutely. I think you'd be silly not to and that certainly was the case. Probably alludes to my point about not expecting to be named in the starting 15 for this weekend. So, I guess you never know…. putting yourself in a little bit of jeopardy like that, what you could potentially lose and that was definitely at the forefront of my mind, but that's been dealt with now and now we're just looking to move on and push forward and I get a great opportunity this week to, do exactly that and I can't wait."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Aaron Cruden, New Zealand fly half (on returning centre Sonny Bill Williams):

"It's pretty incredible, even his performance last week (against the USA). He's been out of the game for almost two years and to come back and perform the way he did, I think he will be able to gain a lot of confidence out of that and everyone around him grows some confidence from seeing him perform so well. So he gets another opportunity this week. I know he's chomping at the bit, and for guys like us (nods towards Aaron Smith) who aren't the biggest in the team, it's nice to just look outside you and know that there's a pretty dynamic played like Sonny out there to give you a little bit of go forward."
