Window coffees, secret wall-knocks and in-room workouts are all part of Wallabies lockdown in New Zealand as they count down to begin proper Bledisloe Cup preparations.

The Wallabies are bedded down in quarantine in a Christchurch hotel although it's not as restrictive as in Australia, with the players allowed out at times through the day into a garden area as long as they are masked and practice social distancing.

They eat all their meals in their rooms and apart from their laptops and phones for entertainment, some unlucky players have been given watt bikes while others are making do with exercise bands and pull-up bars.

The first Bledisloe Test is in Wellington on October 11.
