Goodhue cantered 40m to score in the second half after fielding a pass from wing Rieko Ioane who flew into space before turning the ball back inside to the Northlander. Goodhue said it had been a tough match but one he enjoyed.
"That game probably would be the highlight of my rugby career so far. There's so much history behind the Bledisloe Cup and it was a pretty happy occasion for me," he told the Northern Advocate this week.
Goodhue's performance has been getting rave reviews, but despite his great form, he will have to keep performing if he wants to keep the jersey for the rest of the Rugby Championship, given the ABs' depth in the midfield.
The side features the same starting forward pack as the one which won in Sydney last weekend, while Ofa Tuungafasi comes back onto the reserves bench for Tim Perry.
There are two injury-enforced changes in the backline. With winger Rieko Ioane ruled out, Waisake Naholo comes across to the left wing, Ben Smith moves to the right wing and Jordie Barrett has been named at fullback, for his third Test start. In the midfield, Ngani Laumape comes in for Ryan Crotty.
All Blacks Head Coach Steve Hansen said: "The team is fully aware that it has the opportunity to close out the Bledisloe Cup series on Saturday. In saying that, we know that there'll be a massive response from Australia following their performance last week.
"Not only are we excited by this challenge, but we're looking forward to responding ourselves with a better performance.
"Our preparation this week - both physically and mentally - has been all about getting ready to do that. We'll be looking to execute to an even higher level and play at an intensity that will challenge ourselves and our opponent."
Hansen has also paid tribute to Owen Franks.
"Whilst last week was a special occasion for Sammy Whitelock, this week it's Owie's turn to join that special club. He has started 90 of his 99 Tests to date, which is an incredible achievement for a tighthead prop, one of the most physically demanding positions on the footy field.
"His professionalism and dedication to improvement has been an inspiration to other All Blacks for quite some time now. We congratulate him and his family on such a wonderful achievement."
Steve Hansen also the All Blacks were looking forward to playing at home at a sold-out Eden Park.
