The All Blacks are preparing for a desperate Wallabies outfit looking to land a punch in the Tri-Nations and final Bledisloe Cup Test in Brisbane tonight.
The Australians' hopes of wresting back the trans-Tasman trophy after 18 years in New Zealand hands ended last Saturday with an embarrassing 43-5 defeat in Sydney.
All Blacks skipper Sam Cane feels the Wallabies are dangerous when they have little to lose.
Cane says the Wallabies have always been a side that plays well when their backs are against the wall.
He says that he sees this as a massive challenge for them and they want to make sure they do everything they can to get a win against them tonight.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks have included four debutants in their 23 member team including Akira Ioane who will start at blindside flanker while Will Jordan, Cullen Grace and Asafo Aumua to make their debut off the bench.
Fiji born Sevu Reece returns to the All Blacks starting 15 and Former Fiji under 20 rep, Alex Hodgman is on the bench. Hoskins Sotutu has been rested this week. The All Blacks will face the Wallabies at 8.45 tonight.
