The Wallabies arrived in Auckland unbeaten under Les Kiss and full of belief after their win over the Springboks in Perth. The All Blacks needed just one win from the two Tests to keep the Bledisloe Cup, which they have held since 2003. The venue adds its own weight: the Wallabies have not won at Eden Park since 1986.
The selections were full of storylines. All three Barrett brothers started together for the All Blacks, with Scott back from back surgery, while Damian McKenzie moved to fly-half and Codie Taylor led the side. For Australia, captain Harry Wilson leads a back row that troubled the Springboks, with Tom Wright and Len Ikitau in a dangerous backline.
Bath arrived at Franklin's Gardens with two wins from two and a place near the top of the table. Northampton, the reigning champions, were looking to respond after losing to Bristol the week before. These are two of the Premiership's most ambitious attacking sides.
The fly-half battle alone is worth the watch: Finn Russell against Fin Smith. Around them are some of the best attacking players in England, including Tommy Freeman, Ollie Sleightholme and Alex Mitchell for Northampton.
