All Blacks captain Sam Whitelock has paid tribute to teammate Aaron Smith, as the halfback prepares to play his 100th test match against the Wallabies tomorrow.

Smith will become the 10th All Black to reach the milestone of 100 tests as well as becoming the first Kiwi halfback to reach the mark.

With 125 caps to his name, Whitelock knows what the century milestone means, having played most of his tests alongside Smith.

The Wallabies haven’t tasted victory at Eden Park since 1986.

The two teams have played each other 170 times and the All Blacks have won 117, Australia 45 while 8 matches ended in a draw.

The All Blacks face the Wallabies at 7.05pm tomorrow.
