Three log points separate the All Blacks (14 points) and Wallabies (11) on the Rugby Championship log as they head into their final game of the tournament on Saturday.
A win for the Wallabies would effectively hand the title to South Africa before their game against Argentina even kicks off, but a win for the All Blacks would mean the Springboks must ensure they triumph in London to reclaim the trophy.
The Bledisloe Cup has already been retained by New Zealand, but there is still plenty at stake when these teams go head-to-head on Saturday.
Kick off is at 11:45 (SA time).
