Wallabies excited to face All Blacks at House of Pain

Wallabies excited to face All Blacks at House of Pain

Michael Cheika says the Wallabies are excited about the opportunity to face the All Blacks at Eden Park.

New Zealand has not lost at the venue since 1994 and their last defeat at Eden Park against Australia was back in 1986.

But Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says there is no place he would rather be than facing the world champions at the House of Pain.

With the exception of Nick Phipps coming in for French bound Will Genia, its expected that Cheika will name a relatively unchanged starting XV to the one that beat Argentina 33‑21 in London a week ago.

The All Blacks will host the Wallabies at 7.35pm Saturday.
