All you need to know ahead of the All Blacks' clash against the Wallabies in Bledisloe II at Eden Park
The All Blacks have suffered a late setback ahead of their showdown with the Wallabies, with Rieko Ioane ruled out of the clash with a tweaked hamstring.
Peter Umaga-Jensen has come onto the bench and is in line to make his All Blacks debut.
The All Blacks haven't lost a test to the Wallabies at Eden Park since 1986 – but the fresh-faced Australians who are coming off an upset draw last Sunday "might not know any better".
With no player in either side alive to have witnessed an Australian victory in Auckland, Dave Rennie's men might be uniquely placed to finally break the All Blacks' 43-match unbeaten streak, says Wallabies attack coach Scott Wisemantel.
"There's a lack of fear; they're willing to have a go and only thing I and the coaching staff wants out of them is to say 'ease up' or 'pull it back'."
Wallabies halfback Nic White said in his previous visits to Eden Park, it wasn't just the stadium that thwarted them.
"I'm not sure how much it is to do with the field and how much it is to do with the result," he said.
"I've been there a few times off a couple of wins and a draw and I think that's as much to do with the reaction of their group as it is to where we're playing.
"I don't think it matters where we play them this week, there's going to be a reaction from them.
"This is a new group and we're trying to talk about the reaction we want to get out of the game on the weekend, where we thought we could have taken a result."
