Australia are out onto the field in Wellington, all wearing drill tops. Close behind are the bare-armed All Blacks. There has been speculation the All Blacks intend to perform their controversial Kapa o Pango haka today, which concludes with a throat-slitting gesture. We’ll find out after the national anthems.

True to form, conditions at the Cake Tin are horrendous – you wouldn’t want it any other way, right? There’s rain around, temperatures are in the low teens, and there’s a howling gale blowing from the north. To add to the inhospitable conditions for an Australian unit fresh from a training camp in balmy northern New South Wales, there will be 30,000 or so locals in the crowd barracking on their heroes.
