The All Blacks believe the Wallabies are still a threat at RWC 2011, despite Australia's loss to Ireland in the pool stage.
"They're still the quality outfit that they've always been. They had one stumble but they're looking just as strong as they ever were," said number 8 Victor Vito.
As New Zealand prepare to take on their trans-Tasman rivals in Sunday's semi-final, they will do anything to stop Australia from becoming the first team to win a World Cup after losing a match in the pool phase.
"I hope we can do the business," said former Australian rugby league player turned New Zealand centre Sonny Bill Williams.
"They're a tough side and I think they're coming into form at the right time, but I think we haven't played our best footy as well, so it's going to be a really good match."
The All Blacks have put this year's Tri Nations loss to Australia behind them, saying winning the Webb Ellis Cup is more of a priority than exacting revenge. - http://www.rugbyworldcup.com
