What's the New Zealand v Australia team news?

New Zealand have made six changes since last week's dramatic victory in Australia.

Kiwi skipper Sam Cane misses out on Bledisloe II through injury, which means Ardie Savea shifts over to number eight with Dalton Papali'i slotting in at openside.

With David Havili injured, last week's match-winner Jordie Barrett comes into the midfield at inside centre, and is partnered with Rieko Ioane.

Darcy Swain has been handed a six-week ban from playing rugby after his dangerous clear-out on All Black Quinn Tupaea last week, so misses out.

Cadeyrn Neville returns to the starting XV in what will be his first Test match since July against England.

With Rob Leota out with injury, Harry Wilson comes in at number eight, with Rob Valetini shifting over to blindside flanker.

What have the coaches said?

New Zealand head coach Ian Foster on picking Jordie Barrett at 12: “It’s based on the experience they had last week.

“We just felt they can start at a high level because they’ve just had the best part of 60 minutes of a Test match so that combination’s a bit stronger.

“The learnings and experience they had there, just flow through to this game and (we’ll) maybe make some changes later on.”

Australia head coach Dave Rennie: “Rieko Ioane had a lot to say to our boys after the final try, mouthing off at Folau Fainga’a around disrespecting the haka.

"Which is a bit odd because as New Zealanders would know, when a team does a haka you respond with a haka.

“We don’t have the luxury of having a haka so our response is (to get) in the boomerang shape and to move forward. They’ve thrown down a challenge and we’re accepting it.”
