Les Kiss’ Australia heads across the Tasman Sea in its best form in years.
Watch New Zealand v Australia as two bitter southern hemisphere rivals clash for the 182nd time.
The Wallabies haven’t beaten the All Blacks since 2020, but their impressive form under new boss Les Kiss gives them the chance to cause an upset at Auckland’s Eden Park fortress.
Australia are unbeaten since losing to Ireland and France Nations Championship. Along the way, they beat Argentina at home and shocked the Springboks (albeit a second string starting XV) in a thriller in Perth. This is a side that grows in confidence with the home Rugby World Cup less than a year now.
Even so, form remains in favor of the hosts, especially on a ground where they have not lost since 1994. After three consecutive defeats against South Africa in Greatest Rivalry series, another loss would mark their worst streak of the century, but those results don’t tell the whole story. New head coach Dave Rennie has his side playing some great rugby, and they were a whisker away from the top of the world rankings a month ago.
