They like it here, and they might like it even more when - if - there is a covered stadium in which to play.
All Blacks assistant coach Steve Hansen said it was great to be in Dunedin, and the city was always a good one for the All Blacks to visit.
He said it would be good to come back in future years to a covered stadium, as then there would be at least one guaranteed dry game in winter.
The team was met by a rowdy southern welcome, in the form of a 20-strong City of Dunedin pipe band and about 100 fans.
Most of the All Blacks, who have arrived in good time to plan for a second consecutive win over the world champion Springboks, were nursing sore bodies after a hard-fought, physical victory in the wet over the Springboks in Wellington on Saturday night.
The flight was delayed by about 40 minutes because of mechanical problems.
All Blacks coach Graeme Henry said it was "marvellous" to be back in Dunedin. The team was last in the city in 2005, when it also played the Springboks.
"You can feel the enthusiasm already," he said.
The team signed autographs for a few fans at the airport, before leaving for the city.
Team members have some public engagements today, including meeting the public at Bathgate Park and Peter Johnstone Park, both at 10am, before a private training session at Carisbrook in the afternoon.
The All Blacks team will be named tomorrow afternoon.
The Springboks do not arrive in Dunedin until Thursday afternoon, and have no public engagements.
