Hong Kong Stadium, Hong Kong There are so many “unknowables” in this historic Bledisloe Cup clash in Hong Kong, the first ever offshore Bledisloe, between the Qantas Wallabies and those blokes from across the ditch, predicting a result is extremely difficult – at best.
First up there is no current form – the last time the two teams played was against each other in Brisbane in September, a match won by the All Blacks by a measly 4 points.
Usually before a Bledisloe you’d have some kind of a form guide as both teams would have prepared with some hits out against European nations before the biggest Tests of the year.
But this time it’s the other way around – the Asian Bledisloe is first up before both squads depart on their end of season European jaunts.
The Wallabies haven’t played – either together or separately – for months and even then it was in club finals around the country so it is very hard to say how they’ll come up for this one.
Super coach Robbie Deans has, as those who have been at any recent Wallabies training sessions can attest, been working his squad extremely hard so fitness will not be an issue but as for ‘match fitness’ that’s another question.
On the other side All Blacks coach Graham Henry does have a squad that just finished playing in the Air New Zealand Cup, New Zealand’s domestic provincial competition, but he would not have been overjoyed by the form of his Wellington All Blacks last weekend as they went down to a Dan Carter-less Canterbury 7-6 at home in a dour final.
For both squads there is an air of experimentation as well.
For Deans it is a necessity rather than a whim with no less than six prominent Men of Gold unavailable due to injury or playing overseas. Take Wycliff Palu (injured), Rocky Elsom (overseas), James Horwill (injured), Lote Tuqiri (injured), Dan Vickerman (overseas) and Hugh McMeniman (injured) out of any team and you have to be on the backfoot.
But on the plus side those players coming in – Mark Chisholm, Dean Mumm, Richard Brown and Drew Mitchell (either playing their first Test of the year or starting their first Test) - will be jumping out of their skins to take on the All Blacks.
And they will be out to do everything they can to retain their spots for the rest of the tour.
The All Blacks have a comparatively settled look and are at virtual full strength, save fullback Mils Muliaina who decided to skip the Test to stay at home with his new-born son, but have chosen to gamble by bringing Stephen Donald in at flyhalf and shifting Carter to inside centre.
Carter is the best flyhalf in the world but how he will go at centre against our own Captain Courageous, Stirling Mortlock, is open to conjecture.
If Wallabies fans would want anybody to be marking the Kiwi superstar it would be “Snorky” who will give his all and more as he does every time he pulls on the gold jersey.
And there are other unknowns : how will both teams react to the hot steamy conditions for one ? They must suit the Wallabies more than the All Blacks. Not too tropical in New Zealand at last look.
And the unfamiliar ground ? Who will adapt best to that ? And the crowd – who will they support ? Many Wallabies and Kiwi supporters have travelled to Honkers for the big match but which colour will the locals choose to throw their voice behind ?
But despite all this in the end it may come down to a very familiar battle – the best openside flankers in the world - our own dual John Eales Medallist George Smith, up against the finest in black, and their captain, Richie McCaw.
Whoever wins this titanic tussle just might put their team on the road to victory. It’s worth tuning in just to see these two great scrappers battle it out.
The word from inside the camp is the man set for a big one this Saturday is flyhalf Matt Giteau, who freed from the need to cancel out Carter could excel on the big stage.
A moment of brilliance or two from ‘Gits’ and the Wallabies could be home.
If they are to win this one and tie the Bledisloe up for the season at 2-all, the Men of Gold must start well. With the injuries and new faces in the line-up if they get behind, the All Blacks may be very hard to peg back.
According to the bookies the Wallabies don’t start as favourites for this one but that’s exactly as Deans and Mortlock would like it. The Men of Gold have greatly enjoyed their spell in Hong Kong and let’s hope they’re enjoying it even more come Saturday night.
The plaudits are flooding in for the ARU and NZRU on their initiative in taking the Bledisloe to China and boosting the image of our great game on the world stage. Before the game has even been played the Hong Kong adventure is already a success – and just wait till kick off!
