Rugby Championship / Bledisloe Cup
Australia Wallabies vs New Zealand
Date: 17 August , 2013
Time:20:05 local, 10:05 GMT
Venue: Sydney
Venue: Sydney
Australia will launch their latest bid
to prise the Bledisloe Cup from New Zealand’s grasp when the two sides
go head-to-head in the Rugby Championship opener in Sydney on Saturday
night.
The All Blacks have dominated the battle
for trans-Tasman bragging rights in recent years having held the
sizeable silverware for the last decade. The Wallabies may have had
their successes in that time – most recently in Brisbane in 2011 on
their way to the Tri-Nations title – but they have failed to match the
consistent excellence of their neighbours who collected their 11th
southern hemisphere crown last year.
Australia enter this latest showdown –
the first of three Cup clashes in the next three months – on the back of
a demoralising series defeat to the British & Irish Lions last
month that prompted an end of Robbie Deans’ tenure as the Wallabies’
coach and he has since been succeeded by Ewen McKenzie. There has been
no such turmoil in New Zealand with coach Steve Hansen having seen his
side warm-up for the defence of their title with a hard-fought series
victory over France in June.
The Wallabies have opted to inject some
new blood into the mix in the hope of reversing their fortune but they
are not the only side boasting fresh faces with New Zealand captain
Richie McCaw back in black having returned from a sabbatical aimed at
re-charging his batteries.

Australia – Player to Watch:
Fly-half Matt Toomua pulled the strings for the Brumbies throughout a
Super Rugby season that ended with a narrow defeat to the Chiefs in the
final. He also helped orchestrate a victory over the British & Irish
Lions but can he transfer that form to the Test stage?
Australia – Team News: The
Wallabies have named five uncapped players in their squad – headed by
playmaker Toomua who makes his debut at fly-half. His fellow Brumbies –
Scott Sio, Scott Fardy, Nic White and Tevita Kuridrani – have all earned
places on the bench. The starting line-up shows eight changes to that
beaten in the 3rd Test against the Lions – Ben Mowen shifts to No.8 and
James O’Connor to the wing with prop James Slipper, lock Rob Simmons,
flankers Hugh McMeniman and Michael Hooper, fullback Jesse Mogg and
Toomua also handed starts.
New Zealand – Player to Watch:
Few doubt whether Richie McCaw will still be able to cut it in
international rugby having been out of action for most of the year but
it will be interesting to see if he is up-to-speed on his first outing
Test since his recent return.
New Zealand – Team News: McCaw
returns to lead an experienced-looking line-up that shows six changes to
that which started the 3rd Test against France in June. The most
notable is the selection of Aaron Cruden at fly-half with Dan Carter
sidelined through injury. Elsewhere, Julian Savea returns to the left
wing and Aaron Smith starts at scrum-half. McCaw is back at openside
while Steve Luatua was a late inclusion at blindside following an injury
to Liam Messam. Tony Woodcock will pack down at loose-head with Wyatt
Crockett another absent through injury.
Key Battle: These sides boast
plenty of talent but the most fascinating battle will arguably be
between the respective back threes. Australia will start with Jesse
Mogg, Israel Folau and James O’Connor while New Zealand will offer up
Israel Dagg, Ben Smith and Julian Savea – game-breakers aplenty.
