The All Blacks will be on guard for a Chiefs-style ambush when they take on the Wallabies in Saturday night's Bledisloe clash in Sydney.

New Zealand lead the four-match Bledisloe Cup series 1-0 after a win and a draw on home soil and they can wrap up the trophy with a victory in either Sydney or Brisbane.

All Blacks assistant coach John Plumtree has been impressed by what the Wallabies have produced under new coach Dave Rennie - and he's not surprised.

Rennie transformed the Chiefs into one of Super Rugby's most consistent sides during his six-year stint as coach, leading the NZ franchise to the title in 2012 and 2013.

Plumtree feels the Wallabies are starting to show similar traits to what Rennie instilled at the Chiefs.

The Wallabies host the All Blacks in Sydney at 8.45pm this Saturday.
