Nice the Aussies are a threat again! Bring it on.

Wallabies supporter here and honestly would just be happy with a game where the referee isn't a talking point at the end of the game. Regardless of the result!

Any international match, to represent your country, should have precedent full stop!

To be fair, Ryan Lonergan has been very good for years in Super Rugby, even back when he was second to Nick White at the Brumbies. I am surprised he hasn't been recognised earlier

Wallabies fan here. Keeping the shirt well on for this next game in Auckland being the sheer graveyard it is for us there. Glad to see a Wallaby team playing for each other, great to get the win last weekend and to work at filling the trophy cabinet.

Shame it's not in the international window. It would have been good if the Wallabies had those players

This certainly feels like the most uncertain Bledisloe in quite some time which is good. Really hard to know how this will go, AB's coming off a series defeat in SA, and the Wallabies coming off a series win in ARG and of course beating the Boks last weekend. Should be an interesting series.

I'd be more confident if we had: Skelton, Tupou, T Hooper, and C Gordon, Paisami & Ikitau (at 10, 12, 13).
As it stands - if we finish within 10 at Eden Park I'll probably be quite satisfied.

Would have been a great chance for Wallabies if they had a full strength team, real shame they lose players to cards, clubs…

Looking forward to the Bled. Aussies are looking the part and reckon an Eden park upset is a possibility.

I'd love to see a win for the Wallabies at Eden Park ... but they need thier very best squad to do it.

@EagleBronze7 1 day ago (edited)

From a Proud Aussie that has seen the ups and downs for Wallabies just want the Wallabies to play with pride and humility, if we win that would be great, if we lose, let us lose with honour and respect, play with your hearts lad🙏🙏

NZ win in Eden Park and Wallabies win in Sydney

@wallywest9257 26 minutes ago

The only reason the Boks started dominating the Wallabies scrum was because Wilson got sent off and it was 7 vs 8 forwards in scrum. Tupou cancels out Ox, in fact he makes Ox look skinny. He squats 300kg and benches 200kg, he's probably the singles greatest prop for strength rn. That's why the Wallabies scrum was so good, even when the Boks A-team came on. It was only when the yellow cards started flying the AUS scrum declined.

@runforrestrun1965 1 day ago

Aussies should be feeling quite confident and could win against the ABs in NZ and in Oz. I hope not but to score 42 pts against SA shows they have a very good attack. All Blacks should be expecting plenty of high kicks coming

It's close this year , it's real close

@MartinVenter1980 1 day ago

The Wallabies are in their best position for years to challenge New Zealand at Eden Park. They have confidence, momentum, a powerful loose trio, and game-breakers such as Suaalii and Wright.

However, until someone actually wins there, Eden Park remains rugby's ultimate fortress.

Hope we do! 🏉🏉🏉

Nowadays, EVERYONE plays out of their skin when they face South Africa.
It's the one victory every team wants in modern rugby. Instant bragging rights ;)
That said, this is the closest I've seen the AB's and wallabies in years in terms of overall game performance.
So I reckon that both tests are going to be really close. Just a few points in it.
Not the usual, play south Africa with 60 points at least combined try festival on the scoreboard.
Eden Park is going to be an old school, grind it out, very close affair points wise I reckon.
