"If you talk about high-scoring games, you're right," Matfield told local media.
"When South African sides play, there is a lot of kicking, and teams almost don't want to give opportunities in their own half, while when you play New Zealand sides they want to score tries. They go out there and play.
"When they play, they give you opportunities to play as well. When you see two New Zealand sides play each other, it is high-scoring games as well.
"It is very different than when two South African sides play each other, and you have to plan for that, because when they get momentum, the chances are good they will score a try or two, so you need to score tries as well.
"It's nice for us, we want to go out in every game and we want to score tries."
