Good day and Welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of the second Bledisloe Cup test of 2018. New Zealand took a 1-0 lead in the race for the Cup beating Australia 13-38 in Sydney last week and a victory today means that the Cup will remain in the land of the long white cloud for yet another year.

Australia have a mountain to climb if they want to get their hands on the cup for the first time since 2002. The Wallabies have lost superstar fullback Israel Folau to an injury which sees Jack Maddocks earn his first test start. The All Blacks were forced to make two changes with Ryan Crotty and Rieko Ioane being ruled out through injury.

It's a big night for Owen Franks today with the 30-year-old tighthead making his 100th appearance in the Black jersey, while Wallabies coach Michael Cheika takes charge of the Wallabies for the 50th time.

Stay with us for what will be a fantastic encounter between two of rugby's oldest rivals.
