Referees to 18 August 2019
Lots of rugby eyes will be on Eden Park on Saturday - the second Bledisloe Cup match after the Wallabies spilt All Black blood in Perth last Saturday.
It's the Wallabies chance to win the Bledisloe Cup for the first time since 2002.
The trophy is named for Lord Bledisloe, governor of New Zealand, who donated the huge cup in 1931.
It is interesting that there are South African referees for each of the two international matches being played at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand - Jaco Peyper and Aimee Barrett-Theron.
