The Wallabies are quietly confident they can win their first Bledisloe Cup Test at Eden Park since 1986, as they take on the All Blacks. Follow live.
The Wallabies are eager to end their 40-year losing streak against the All Blacks at Eden Park. The Wallabies, led by Joe Schmidt and Les Kiss, have a strong record this year, having won five out of their eight Tests. The upcoming encounter has generated significant buzz, as the Wallabies aim to become the first team since 1986 to triumph over the All Blacks at their historic home ground.
Dave Rennie, the All Blacks coach, has maintained a cordial relationship with the Wallabies during this build-up, a sentiment reciprocated by the Wallabies' coach. The Wallabies haven't made many changes to their lineup since their 42-38 victory over the Springboks in Perth, with Isaac Henry replacing Hunter Paisami at outside centre.
Len Ikitau, who had been sidelined due to injury, is set to start inside centre. The Wallabies are optimistic about their chances, buoyed by their recent form and the deep talent pool under coach Dave Rennie.
