She is one of the brightest prospects in Australia and was entrusted with the No.10 jersey for the first two games of the Wallaroos tour.

Joe Schmidt insists the Bledisloe Cup rivalry is well and truly alive despite New Zealand's dominance and increasingly friendly relationships.

A two-time John Eales Medallist as Australia's best player, the winger will miss the second Bledisloe Test and faces a murky future in gold.

New Zealand coach Scott Robertson has made a major statement by instead handing the five-eighth duties to a veteran for Saturday's rematch.

The strapping 18-year-old centre has signed an 'elite development' contract with the Super Rugby Pacific club after considering his future in both codes.

The Wallabies bruiser simply doesn't do bad games anymore - a fact reflected in his status as Australia's reigning John Eales Medallist.

Remarkably for a team with such a dominant home record, the All Blacks have failed to win any of their last five Test matches at Sky Stadium.

It was the 28-year-old's first Test since 2021 after returning from France and he appears likely to keep his spot for this weekend's rematch in Wellington.

Scott Robertson had several cracks at getting his mitts on the massive vessel during his 27 Test career as a loose forward between 1998-2002.

Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt was in no mood to paper over the cracks after watching the All Blacks parade around Accor Stadium with the Bledisloe Cup.
