On Saturday, New Zealand proved it doesn’t Greatest Rivalry hangover after their series defeat to South Africa, who ran out comfortable 50-19 winners at their Eden Park fortress. The win means they retain the Bledisloe Cup for the 24th consecutive year and extend their winning streak over the Wallabies to 12 matches.
Head coach Dave Rennie subsequently made three changes to their starting line-up, with George Bower coming in at loosehead, Fabian Holland in the second row and Josh Moorby getting a shot on the wing.
Last Saturday was Les Kiss’s first defeat as Australia boss and they remain on top as they build to next year’s home World Cup. A first win against the All Blacks since 2020 would certainly set the bar, although even a narrow defeat would certainly be a sign of progress.
Kiss made four personnel changes to the starting XV last weekend, the most notable being Declan Meredith who was selected at fly-half, as the Wallabies’ long pursuit of a first-choice No.10 continues.
