Australia host New Zealand in the second Bledisloe Cup Test match at Accor Stadium in Sydney on Saturday, October 17. The All Blacks thrashed the Wallabies 50-19 at Eden Park in Auckland last weekend to retain the Bledisloe Cup, but Australia will be desperate to gain revenge and will look to emulate their recent performance against South Africa when they toppled the world champions.

The Wallabies have made 10 changes from last weekend, with Declan Meredith the stand-out selection at outside-half, replacing the injured Ben Donaldson. New Zealand coach Dave Rennie has made three changes to his starting side, with Fabian Holland replacing Josh Lord at lock and George Bower coming in for Ethan de Groot at loosehead prop.
