Normal business will resume on Tuesday for the All Blacks following a day of relaxation, after the Rugby World Cup semi-final.
Spurred on by constant reminders of their World Cup failures, coach Graham Henry says they have dissected their history at the tournament and looked at why the All Blacks have not won the title since 1987.
Without revealing their conclusions, Henry said there would be adjustments to their game plan for Sunday night's final against France, the side who dumped them unceremoniously out of two previous World Cups.
It will be New Zealand's first appearance in a Rugby World Cup final for 16 years.
"This team has been together for a long time," Henry said. "This is the most experienced All Black team to play the game.''
Sunday's match will be a repeat of the inaugural World Cup final in 1987, which the All Blacks won 29-9.
