The All Blacks have copped another big out as they bid to extend their winning streak over the Wallabies to 13 at Accor Stadium for Game 2 of the 2026 Bledisloe Cup. Live updates below!

New Zealand’s brutal second-half onslaught in Game 1 at Eden Park sealed the Bledisloe Cup for a 24th time, and left Les Kiss with his first loss as Australian coach.

In response, Kiss has rung the changes to his starting side, with Declan Meredith the latest to get a run in the No. 10, replacing the injured Ben Donaldson at flyhalf.

Aidan Ross, Josh Nasser are back in the front row alongside winger Harry Potter, while Len Ikitau’s injury has seen Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii switch back into the centres.

Kiss has vowed the Wallabies will “return fire” in Sydney, even with the series lost.

“It’s like anything. You get a knock back, you find out more about yourself,” he said.

“Belief is created and sustained by not just wins and losses, they’re created by other things.

“These boys have a strong culture, a strong belief in themselves and a confidence about what they can do.”

The All Blacks have concerns of their own, with veteran centre Jordie Barrett ruled out with a tight calf.

Barrett joins a string of stars on the sidelines, with Asafo Aumua, Anton Segner, Ethan Blackadder, Leroy Carter, Richie Mo’unga, Ruben Love and Ardie Savea all watching on.
