Wallabies loose-forward Rob Valetini says knowing they can score tries in front of All Blacks fans is an advantage going into their next test

Wallabies loose-forward Rob Valetini says knowing they can score tries in front of All Blacks fans is an advantage going into their next test at Eden Park tomorrow.

The Wallabies made a fabulous comeback last week scoring three tries in the final fifteen minutes to close the game with a 25-33 loss.

Valetini says they cannot wait 20 minutes into the game to start playing.

He says this time they have to take control of the game and beat them to the punch.

The Wallabies are 1 down in the 2021 Bledisloe series and will be aiming to end a 35 year losing streak at Eden Park.

The last time they won the Bledisloe Cup was in 2002.

The Wallabies will face the All Blacks at 7.05pm tomorrow.
