Kia ora, good evening and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the fourth and final Bledisloe Cup test match between the All Blacks and Australia from Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
The All Blacks have already wrapped up the Bledisloe Cup for the 17th straight year, after a convincing 43-5 victory at ANZ Stadium last weekend.
The two sides will turn their attention to the Tri-Nations, which also features Argentina. A win for the men-in-black tonight will put them in box position to pick up their second trophy of the year. A win for Australia and the tournament is well and truly alive.
Dating back to 1996, New Zealand have played seven times in total at Suncorp Stadium, claiming four victories there, two defeats and a draw.
The last time these two sides played at Suncorp was in 2017, when the Wallabies ran away 23-18 winners.
Ian Foster has rung the changes for this clash. Blues powerhouse Akira Ioane has been named for his All Blacks test debut, where he will start at blindside flanker, with three more test newbies coming off the bench - hooker Asafo Aumua, loose forward Cullen Grace and utility back Will Jordan.
Other changes see Codie Taylor starting at hooker, Scott Barrett replacing Patrick Tuipulotu at lock, Ardie Savea returning to No.8, TJ Perenara slotting into halfback, with Rieko Ioane, Ngani Laumape and Sevu Reece joining the backline.
Beauden Barrett will shift from fullback to first-five, while brother Jordie moves from wing to the No.15 jersey.
Halfback Brad Weber will make his first appearance of the series off the bench.
At lock, Sam Whitelock will bring up his 100th test start in his 120th test appearance - the fifth All Black to achieve this milestone.
Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has turned to two debutants in flanker Lachlan Swinton and winger Tom Wright.
Veteran prop James Slipper has been named to start in his 100th test match, but the Wallabies have been dealt an injury blow, with lock forward Lukhan Salakaia-Loto ruled out.
Swinton, 23, will join Harry Wilson and skipper Michael Hooper in the back row, while Rennie has opted for a brand new midfield of Queensland duo Hunter Paisami and Jordan Petaia. Winger Wright will wear the No.14 jersey on debut, completing a back three with Tom Banks and Marika Koroibete.
Reece Hodge has been shifted to first-five in the continued absence of James O'Connor.

Cane backs All Blacks debutants to shine in Bledisloe Cup finale
Of all the tasks Sam Cane must perform as All Blacks captain, handing out first test jerseys is one of his favourites.
Cane will have that "honour" four times this week, with Akira Ioane named to start Saturday's dead-rubber Bledisloe Cup clash against the Wallabies in Brisbane, while Cullen Grace, Asafo Aumua and Will Jordan will come off the bench.
"Normally I just leave them to do their thing during the week," says Cane.
"[But] it's my honour to present guys with their first test jersey, that's something I find pretty special and I hope they do too."
Cane added that he has every confidence in the four players who will make their debuts.
"They are probably some of the guys who have been training the best against us the last few weeks and helping us prepare for the last few two matches," says Cane.
"In terms of timing, it's great for them because they've worked out what the All Blacks are about and how we train and what's required of them and now they can just go out there and be themselves and play."
Cane's 72nd test on Saturday will be his seventh as skipper after he was given the captaincy this year having served a long apprenticeship under two of the modern day greats in Richie McCaw and Kieran Read.
The 28-year-old said while he was forging his own path as skipper he had learned from the pair.
"I think one thing that stands out for me from those two is that they always led with their actions on the field," Cane said.
"They were both different leaders off the field but they demanded excellence and helped create a culture of excellence."
Cane told reporters last week that his captaincy style was pretty subdued, though he could "fire up" when he needed to lay down the law. He rarely felt the need to motivate players, he added.
"They're putting on an All Blacks jersey," he says
"The motivation will be there."
