New Zealand v Australia preview: New-look All Blacks to continue dominance in Bledisloe IIAlthough the All Blacks have secured the Bledisloe Cup for the 21st successive year, after last week’s win in Melbourne, they will be hoping to hammer home their dominance against Australia when the two sides face off again on Saturday.

The Bledisloe Cup returns to Dunedin for the first time since 2017, in a rare afternoon Test at Forsyth Barr Stadium, and the home side will be brimming with confidence after blowing the Wallabies away just six days ago.

Despite clinching the Bledisloe Cup yet again, the All Blacks will not be lacking in motivation as they are set to play in their last Test on New Zealand soil before heading off to the Rugby World Cup in France.

This encounter against the Wallabies will also be an opportunity for the hosts to show off their depth as they have made numerous changes to their run-on side, with Will Jordan, Ardie Savea and Brodie Retallick the only players who have retained their places in the starting line-up.

By contrast, the Wallabies, and in particular their head coach Eddie Jones, will be in a desperate mood as they are yet to taste success under his guidance in 2023.

Australia have lost all three of their matches so far this year – in the Rugby Championship against South Africa, Argentina and New Zealand – but despite still being winless under Jones, they have made few alterations to their starting XV after that Bledisloe loss in Melbourne.

Saturday’s run-on side is one of the Wallabies’ most inexperienced starting line-ups in the professional era, with just 277 caps amassed between them. Australia also have a new captain in scrum-half Tate McDermott and they will have to play out of their skins if they want to cause a shock against their highly confident opponents.

Where the game will be won
If the Wallabies want to upset the apple cart then they really have to show considerable improvement in all departments, while the All Blacks will be hoping for a repeat of what worked for them in Bledisloe I. Although Australia showed some nice touches on attack during the early stages of the opening half in Melbourne, they could not sustain that onslaught for the full 80 minutes as they were met by a solid defensive effort from the All Blacks.

Although there are some changes to the home side’s pack, their scrummaging, lineout play and high work-rate at the rucks, mauls and breakdown laid an excellent platform for their backs last weekend and they will be targeting a similar all-round performance in Dunedin. If the Wallabies do not come to the party and at least match the All Blacks in those departments, it will be another long day at the office for them.

22 sec ago - The Wallabies have failed to win their first three Tests since Eddie Jones' appointment, and they face a stiff challenge against New Zealand on Saturday.

Australia fell to their trans-Tasman rivals in the opening Bledisloe Cup clash last weekend 38-7 and will be hoping to salvage a series draw in Dunedin.

However, they haven't beaten the Kiwis in their own backyard in 22 years — an unwanted streak of 28 matches.

Wallabies vs All Blacks: Odds to win second Bledisloe Cup match

New Zealand are heavy favourites to make it a 2-0 series victory when they host Australia this weekend.

New Zealand	Australia

$1.08	$8.00

Wallabies vs All Blacks: Best bet

Pick: All Blacks -20.5

Odds: $1.85

In all but one of their last five matches played in New Zealand, the All Blacks have beaten the Wallabies by 20 points or more.

If their 31-point victory in Melbourne is anything to go by, they should be able to win this match by a healthy margin.

The handicap for this match is significant, but there really isn't anything to suggest that a struggling Australian side will be able to go close.

Wallabies vs All Blacks: Prop bet

Pick: Mark Nawaqanitawase to score a try

Odds: $3.00

Nawaqanitawase was a bright spot for the Wallabies last week in Melbourne, breaking through the lines on multiple occasions with his hard running.

The 22-year-old winger will take confidence from that performance and is a good chance to score a try in hostile territory.

Wallabies vs All Blacks: Outside bet

Pick: New Zealand 13+ / 51-60 points scored

Odds: $3.80

The consensus is that New Zealand should win big in Dunedin, so it's tricky to find value in the betting market.

Combining a 13+ All Blacks victory with a points total is an option, though.

The last time these two sides faced off in New Zealand, it finished 40-14 to the home side.

If we also consider their recent clash in Melbourne — which saw 45 points scored — we could be in for another high-scoring encounter, with the Kiwis likely to be boosted playing on home soil.

A points total between 51 to 60 is definitely a possibility.

Where to watch Australia Wallabies vs Fiji Rugby Live. As the Wallabies prepare to host the Fiji Water Flying Fijians on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle, this one-off Test match carries weight far beyond its billing. For Australia, it’s the final tune-up before the British & Irish Lions arrive. For Fiji, it’s a chance to prove their World Cup triumph over the Wallabies in 2023 was no fluke—and to continue their march toward Tier 1 consistency.

The Stakes
- Wallabies: This is their only warm-up before the Lions series. New head coach Joe Schmidt needs cohesion, confidence, and clarity from his 36-man squad.
- Fiji: Head coach Mick Byrne sees this as the first of ten Tier 1 Tests over two years—a proving ground for a team aiming to peak at the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

Wallabies: Rebuilding with Purpose
Australia’s squad blends experience and fresh blood:
- Veterans like James Slipper (143 caps) and Will Skelton anchor the pack.
- New faces include uncapped talents Nick Champion de Crespigny and Corey Toole.
- Key returnees: David Porecki, back in gold after captaining at RWC 2023.
Joe Schmidt’s challenge? Forge a cohesive unit from Super Rugby standouts and overseas returnees in just one week of camp.

Flying Fijians: Unity from Diversity
Fiji’s preparation has been intense and focused:
- Players arrived from 15 different environments, but Byrne emphasizes unity and energy.
- The squad is riding high after a historic 2023, where they beat England, Wales, and—most memorably—Australia.
- Byrne’s goal: “80 high-quality, repeated-effort minutes” against Tier 1 opposition.

Fiji’s flair is undeniable, but Australia’s structure and set-piece dominance remain potent.

Venue & Kickoff
- Date: Sunday, July 6, 2025
- Time: 1:30 PM AEST
- Venue: McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle
- Significance: Only the third Wallabies Test ever held in the Hunter Region.

What to Expect
Expect fireworks. Fiji will bring offloading chaos and fearless running. The Wallabies will counter with tactical kicking, set-piece precision, and a hunger to reclaim pride. This isn’t just a warm-up—it’s a statement.

What do Steve and Mike Wosniak have in common? Well, it's not rugby as we find out in this mythbusting ERB episode. There was a lot of rugby to cover with the international season underway. The Boks managed to keep down an unexpectedly strong Italian espresso with no help from the bomb squad (cue the fireworks). New Zealand nearly choked on a C-grade baguette while Fiji couldn't quite stomach an undercooked kangaroo steak. We expected a mauling from the Lions but it was with a hiss rather than a roar that they overcame the Tahs. This and more in a bumper episode from Ant, Phil and Andy.

Episode 292: Poles Apart

The Wallabies' 2025 season is shaping up to be one of the most intense and high-profile campaigns in recent memory, headlined by a three-Test series against the British & Irish Lions and a grueling 15-Test schedule that spans from July to November.

Squad & Strategy Notes
- Joe Schmidt is at the helm, but will step down after the Rugby Championship in October.
- Veterans like Marika Koroibete, Pete Samu, and Brandon Paenga-Amosa have been called into the Australia-New Zealand Invitational XV to face the Lions on July 12—a curtain-raiser before the Test series begins.
- Injuries and form are already influencing selections, with Taniela Tupou and Andrew Kellaway released to play for the Waratahs against the Lions in a tour match.
