Wallabies coach Robbie Deans has tipped tomorrow’s Bledisloe Cup clash to be an epic encounter full of daring rugby.
Deans also pleaded with the media yesterday that the Wallabies respect the All Blacks and laughed off suggestions from All Blacks assistant coach Steve Hansen that the Wallabies didn’t treat them like gods any more.
Deans has promised his side will put on a show of running rugby for what will be the biggest New Zealand rugby crowd in modern history.
Let’s go back 15 years, the first ever Tri-Nations professional test where the All Blacks demolished the Wallabies 43-6 in Wellington.
Former All Blacks Jonah Lomu said the battle between All Blacks and the Wallabies is just another experience you don’t want to miss.
The All Blacks and Wallabies match kicks off 7.35pm tomorrow at Eden Park.
