PREVIEW: All Blacks coach Dave Rennie said on Thursday, "It's not about me" as he prepares for his first clash against Australia for the first of two Bledisloe Cup Tests, three years after his abrupt exit from the Wallabies.

New Zealand and Australia have named their matchday squads ahead of the opening Bledisloe Cup Test at Eden Park in Auckland. All Blacks coach Dave Rennie makes six changes to his starting lineup following a recent defeat to South Africa, including moving Damian McKenzie to flyhalf in place of the injured Richie Mo'unga and welcoming back veteran forward Scott Barrett.
Australia coach Les Kiss made only one change to his starting side, bringing in midfielder Isaac Henry to replace the suspended Hunter Paisami. The Wallabies are seeking to break an 11-match losing streak against the All Blacks and end a 23-year drought without the Bledisloe Cup.
