The All Blacks are heading into this weekend’s first round of the Bledisloe Cup with huge respect for the Wallabies.

After falling to their third loss of the Rugby Championship 2024 against the Springboks at Ellis Park 2 weeks ago, the All Blacks will be looking for redemption this week but they know what to expect from the Wallabies.

All Blacks forwards coach Jason Ryan says the Wallabies will want to play fast.

Ryan says Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt puts a lot of work into the breakdown side of things and he has had a good influence on their side already as he knows the game.

He says he has got a lot of respect for Schmidt and come this test, the Wallabies will be right on as the All Blacks will be too.

Ryan says they are not underestimating the Wallabies at all and this weekend’s clash could be a classic.

The All Blacks will be hosted by the Wallabies in Sydney at 5.45pm this Saturday.
