The All Blacks are hurting after a record loss to the Springboks, but now have the advantage of returning to their favourite ground to defend the Bledisloe Cup.
Eden Park has been a venue of disappointment for the Wallabies since 1986, but they come in after some very encouraging results, most notably getting a win over the Boks at Ellis Park.
The Wallabies are currently leading the Rugby Championship with 11 points. The Springboks and All Blacks are on 10, and the Pumas nine, with two games to play.
The All Blacks are on a nine-test win streak over the Wallabies, with the last Australian win being a 24-22 result in Brisbane back in 2020.
The record in New Zealand is even more stark, with 29 wins and one draw since the last Wallaby win, at Carisbrook in 2001.
The Wallabies have outscored their opposition in the second halves of their last five tests and won three of them.
They have also scored nine tries in the last 20 minutes of those tests, while the All Blacks have conceded 10 in the same time period.
The All Blacks will host the Wallabies at 5.05pm today, while the Springboks will take on Argentina at 3.10am tomorrow.
