Hooper and his chargers are out to a relatively silent crowd. McCaw leads out the home side and Eden Park erupts. The sides are lined up for the anthems and the now famous Haka.

All to play for and all to lose tonight

Welcome to UltimateRugby's coverage of this all important Rugby championship clash. These 2 sides played to a draw last week and not only have the Rugby Championship title in sight but the Beldisloe Cup. Australia have not held the Bledisloe in a number of years and have not beaten the All Blacks at Eden Park in a few decades.

The game is being officiated by French Referee, Romain Poite, and the All Blacks are yet to lose a game that he handles for them.

Australia possibly had their best chance to beat their neighbors last week and have stuck with their starting line up.

Let's do this Wallabies! Should be a good game.

He is

Haha

@Matt he's not reffing

Let's see if Romain Poite can stuff this game up, as he did when the boks and all blacks clashed. Destroying what would have been an epic encounter, this game has that same feel about it. I hope ref has little influence on the outcome.

hi i love this team ... all blacks ... is the best ruby of the world and im sure this team as winner
