Former Wallabies captain Andrew Slack insists there is no chance of either Australia or New Zealand taking Saturday's clash in Wellington lightly. Read his thoughts in the New Zealand Herald.
"Both have played the Springboks on their own home soil in the past fortnight and if you think that tells all about what will unfold in Wellington, then I don't know why New Zealand supporters would turn up. The Wallabies played like a team on the rise while the All Blacks played with a most uncharacteristic uncertainty, and that's without even mentioning the lineout.
"It's been an unusual tournament. New Zealand have got out of jail twice and Australia have locked themselves in three times, and while the All Blacks selectors keep shuffling the deck chairs, it seems Robbie Deans and his panel may have eventually worked out who makes up their most effective 22."
