Prediction: After a creditable draw in Wellington, the Wallabies were left exposed in sunny conditions at Fort Eden Park, and now have their backs to the wall if they want to keep the series alive until the fourth and final game. Expect Dave Rennie to tune them in well after a week off, though, and to be more clinical in their approach here. The All Blacks will be very confident in their latest outing, and although they have lost two of their last three games in Australia – 47-26 last year in Perth and 23-18 in Brisbane in 2017 – ANZ Stadium has been a happy hunting ground. Lately, with his last three tests there watching the men in black beat the Wallabies by an average margin of 26 points. However, with the wet weather forecast for Sydney on Saturday, New Zealand’s expansive game may have to be mastered somehow and conditions may level out. All blacks for 6.
