It will be a milestone achievement for All Blacks veteran Aaron Smith as he will be playing his 100th test in the Bledisloe opener against the Wallabies tomorrow.

He is the first All Blacks halfback to achieve this remarkable feat.

Smith made his test debut in 2012 against Ireland and is widely regarded as the best halfback in world rugby over the last decade and has recently re-signed with the New Zealand Rugby through to the next World Cup in 2023.

Coach Ian Foster says he has achieved so much in the black jersey and has been an iconic player for them over the last decade.

He adds they know it will be a special night for him, his wife Teagan and his family.

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