Wallabies bracing for beaten All Blacks response

Wallabies bracing for beaten All Blacks response

The Wallabies are expecting a fired-up All Blacks outfit stinging from their winless tour of South Africa to come at them in Sydney on Saturday.

The Australians might be on the same Rugby Championship win-loss record as New Zealand, but fullback Tom Wright doesn't feel that means they can take their Kiwi foes lightly.

Both teams have suffered three losses from four games with most recently the Australians splitting results in Argentina and the Kiwis losing both Tests against the world champion Springboks.

The Accor Stadium Rugby Championship match doubles as a Bledisloe Cup fixture, with the Wallabies last holders of that silverware way back in 2002, with the final Test in Wellington on September 28.

Wright says they just came up against the guys who won the World Cup so he does not know if weakened is a fair assessment of where the All Blacks are at, but he still looks at them the same way, they're one of the top two nations in the world.

Wright was sidelined with an ankle injury for Australia's second half horror show against the Pumas, which resulted in a record 67-27 scoreline.

The Wallabies play the All Blacks at 5.45pm this Saturday at Accor Stadium, Sydney.

The Pumas will host the Springboks at 9am Sunday.
