History on line in All Blacks vs Wallabies - can Australia be ones to write it?

On Saturday, Australia travel to face New Zealand at Eden Park in the latest Bledisloe Cup contest on their best run of form for nearly a decade, live on Sky Sports.

Not only that, they face an All Blacks side suffering from injuries and under pressure to avoid a fourth Test defeat in a row for the first time in some 28 years, dating back to 1998.

Under new head coach Les Kiss, the Wallabies have beaten Japan home and away, beaten Argentina at home and drawn against them away, and beaten South Africa in Perth despite finishing with just 11 players in a madcap Test match.

That run of games was preceded by victory over Italy in July, meaning Australia are on a six-Test unbeaten run for the first time since 2017.

Yet to continue such a run, Australia are going to have to create several massive pieces of history.
