Sam Cane will notch a century of Tests for the All Blacks and hopes to celebrate it in fashion by beating the Wallabies.
The All Blacks have retained the Bledisloe for the 22nd straight year.
Attention instead turns to celebrating Cane, who becomes the All Blacks' latest centurion in a series he was never expected to play.
The 32-year-old captained New Zealand at the last World Cup, when he was sent off in the final and watched his team-mates fall to a one-point loss to South Africa.
Incoming All Blacks coach Scott Robertson was expected to look past Cane, who moved to Japan and picked up a serious back injury with club side Tokyo Sungoliath.
However, the mighty loose forward recovered and was shown the faith to return for his country this Saturday.
The All Blacks will take on the Wallabies at 7.05pm this Saturday in their closing Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship contest at Wellington's Sky Stadium.
