Watch Australia vs New Zealand 2nd Test live streams
Australia's hopes of ending their Bledisloe Cup drought are over for another year, after the All Blacks stormed to a 50-19 victory last weekend in Auckland. However, there is still plenty for the Wallabies to play for as they host their old rivals in the second and final match at Sydney's Accor Stadium.
Australia head coach Les Kiss may have seen his unbeaten start end following the All Blacks' barnstorming second-half display, but there were still positives for the 61-year-old to take from the performance. The Wallabies trailed only 17-14 at the interval, raising hopes they could claim become the first team to beat the All Blacks at Eden Park in 40 years but injuries to Ben Donaldson and Len Ikitau eventually told. Kiss has made four changes to his starting XV for the return fixture, with fly-half Declan Meredith and former All Black Aidan Ross among the players to come in as Australia hunt a first victory in this competition since November 2020.
New Zealand cross the Tasman Sea with the Bledisloe Cup safely secured for another year, but Dave Rennie's side are unlikely to take their foot off the gas. Still smarting from their 3-1 defeat by South Africa in the Rugby's Greatest Rivalry series, the All Blacks showed their clinical edge with five second-half tries in Auckland. They will now be keen to secure a 2-0 victory, and Rennie has freshened up his 23 with eight changes in total. That includes three alterations to the starting XV, as loosehead prop George Bower, lock Fabian Holland and wing Josh Moorby all get the nod.
