All Blacks captain Sam Cane is banking on his team's enforcers to make life hard for Wallabies debutants Noah Lolesio and Irae Simone in tonight's Bledisloe Cup clash in Sydney.

The All Blacks lead the four-match series 1-0 after following up the 16-16 draw in Wellington with a 27-7 win in Auckland.

If the Wallabies beat New Zealand tonight, next week's clash in Brisbane will become a winner-takes-all affair.

Australia hasn't won the Bledisloe Cup since 2002 and is desperate to end the drought.

The Wallabies missed 40 tackles in their loss in Auckland.

The Wallabies host the All Blacks in Sydney at 8.45 tonight.
