There will be plenty of expectation from the Aussie crowd at the Olympic Stadium in Sydney on the back of the Waratahs' Super Rugby success at the same ground a fortnight ago - it is now 11 years since the Bledisloe Cup stayed on the west side of the Tasman Sea and this young Wallabies side - and many neutral rugby fans - are desperate to see that run end and prevent the lustre of this fabled trans-Tasman rivalry fade with the domination of the All Blacks.
My tip - It's incredible how long the ABs have had the wood over the Wallabies in recent times and given the squads of both sides, the ABs are raging favourites to keep that going even if they are missing the experience of Tony Woodcock, Dan Carter and at the last minute, Conrad Smith. However, Australian rugby has been on a bit of a rise this year in Super Rugby and with the World Cup a year away, the Wallabies are keen to show that they are contenders once again. All Blacks by 7.
Anyway, if you're not excited yet about tonight's game starting at 10 pm NZ time, these should do it -
