But they are also at their most dangerous when they have their backs to the wall and are written off.

But they display one very important trait that we don't see enough in English players:
They raise their game above their club performances.
They are fiercely proud of their National shirt
They learn very quickly from poor performances.
Every Australian believes that they can still win the game when down by two tries with 4 minutes to go.
Teams that beat them raise their intensity and maintain it long enough to crush the fightback.
We can do it in one off's and NZ have shown they are capable of playing them at their own game. I actually think it could be an "interesting" series.
