    After kicking off the Ewen McKenzie era with back-to-back losses to the All Blacks, the

    Wallabies have come full circle to face off with the world champions once more.

    Since that second defeat to New Zealand - a 27-16 loss in Wellington - Australia has fallen twiceto the Springboks, and twice beaten Argentina. New Zealands form has been far more

    consistent, Steve Hansens side storming to a second-straight Rugby Championship success that

    was clinched with an epic victory at Johannesburgs Ellis Park. Start of sidebar.

    Both sides enter the Dunedin clash - the inaugural meeting between the two teams at Forsyth

    Barr Stadium and the first in the South Island city since Australias 2001 triumph at Carisbrook-with injuries to key players. The Wallabies have lost goalkicking ace Christian Lealiifano,

    backrower Scott Fardy and flyers Joe Tomane and Chris Feauai-Sautia, resulting in call-ups for

    Matt Toomua at inside centre, Ben McCalman at No.8 and Peter Betham for his Test debut onthe wing.

    The All Blacks bade farewell to outside centre Conrad Smith, who has taken a four-monthsabbatical, with his namesake Ben Smith coming off the wing to replace him while the match-

    eve withdrawals of skipper and star flanker Richie McCaw and winger Cory Jane have

    catapulted Sam Cane and Charles Piutau into starting roles

    The Bledisoe Cup won't be going anywhere after Saturday, but that doesn't make New Zealand

    playing Australia unimportant.

    The All Blacks would be seething if a loss in a match such as this marked what is so far anunbeaten record in 2013.

    A 9-0 record is something that no other team can boast of so far this year - particularly not the

    Wallabies - as New Zealand continue their march towards back-to-back World Cups in 2015.

    To even be contemplating the All Blacks sealing global glory again two years out from the next

    global showpiece in England should seem fanciful, but it doesn't.

    2/2

    Even in a game as mind-blowing and energy-sapping as the one at Ellis Park a fortnight ago, the

    All Blacks still won by some distance.

    Whereas much of South Africa's play felt physical and frantic, New Zealand at times seemed to

    be merely floating through what many agreed was the best Test of the year, if not in this decade

    so far. And they won by 11 points.

    It means that in the last two years over the course of 21 matches, New Zealand have lost just

    once - inexplicably to England at Twickenham last December.

    Facets of their play are not perfect. Marcos Ayerza and Juan Figallo were already held in highregard, but have emerged out of The Rugby Championship as world-class for the way they

    harried and bullied Tony Woodcock and Owen Franks.

    Seeing the All Blacks give away so many penalties at the set-piece is surprising and an area towork on, but the rest of their good work makes up for it.
