Wallabies could make history if they lose to All Blacks this weekend

The Wallabies.

The Australian rugby side could make history twice in one night if they lose on Saturday night ‑ and not in a good way.

No Wallabies team in more than a century of test match rivalries has ever suffered two 3‑0 series drubbings in a single season.

But that is the fate Michael Cheika's men face if they can not conquer the world champions at their Eden Park fortress on Saturday.

A humiliating series whitewash on home soil against Eddie Jones's resurgent England before 42‑8 and 29‑9 hammerings at the hands of the All Blacks have left the Wallabies staring down the barrel.

And there could be even more pain to come, with a grand slam tour of Britain throwing up the possibility of the Wallabies enduring their most test losses ever in a calendar year.

Already, the Wallabies' three‑from‑nine success rate in 2016 is their worst since Jones was sacked after coaching the team to just five wins from 13 Tests in 2005.

The Wallabies, though, know full well they face a mammoth task ending an infamous 30‑year losing streak against the All Blacks at Eden Park, where the All Blacks have not been beaten by any opposition in 36 Tests stretching back to 1994.

The All Blacks will face the Wallabies at 7.35pm this Saturday.
