The All Blacks raced away with the win in the first game of the Bledisloe Cup meaning the Wallabies are looking to bounce back as they travel to Dunedin, with match two coverage beginning at 12:00 pm AEST on Nine and Stan Sport.

While the Wallabies are on a mission to gain their first win of 2023, the All Blacks are out to continue their 22-year unbeaten streak in New Zealand.

The first game of the series ended with an All-Blacks win with the match ending 38-7 at the MCG. After this match, the Wallabies are set to take on France at the Rugby World Cup on August 28 in Paris.

Coach Eddie Jones has also confirmed that Tate McDermott will captain the team for the match, becoming the 86th captain of the Wallabies due to Allan Alaalatoa’s ruptured Achilles. 

“Tate’s got all the attributes to be a great captain of his country and there’s no doubt it will be a proud moment for him and his family when he leads the team on Saturday night,” Jones said in a statement.

“We started a regeneration as a team last week and now it’s about building on that with a new captain and a new era in Australian Rugby.”
