Former Kiwi international Grant Fox, in the New Zealand Herald, urges the New Zealand public to back Aaron Cruden in the semi-final against Australia.
"All Blacks legend Grant Fox has urged New Zealand to believe in Aaron Cruden - and suggested the Manawatu first five-eighth will be "immune" from the pressure of semi-finals rugby.
Cruden played 47 minutes in the All Blacks' 33-10 quarter-final victory over Argenina on Sunday, replacing the injured Colin Slade and slotting into the backline seamlessly.
Wallabies halfback Will Genia yesterday suggested the Australians would target Cruden in their semi-final match. But Fox told Radio Sport Cruden is more than capable of handling the occasion."
