It promises to be a cracker as the 2025 Rugby Championship comes to an end on Saturday with second-placed New Zealand travelling to face third-placed Australia. Can the All Blacks overcome the Wallabies to strengthen their bid for a potential record-extending 29th Rugby Championship title? Here is our prediction for the match.
New Zealand's journey in the 2025 Rugby Championship has been a bag of mixed fortunes. The All Blacks have endured a dramatic win-loss cycle in their five fixtures at the tournament. They defeated Australia 33-24 at the weekend to secure their third win in the competition and close the gap on table-toppers South Africa to one point.
Can the Pacific giants complete a clean sweep of this two-test series against Australia to boost their title hopes? They have won two of their last three away matches, including their last four trips to face Australia.
The first-Test defeat to New Zealand dented Australia’s 2025 Rugby Championship title hopes. However, Joe Schmidt's men still have a lot to play for. A bonus-point victory against the All Blacks could save their title dreams if Argentina overcome defending champions South Africa.
Nonetheless, it will not be an easy ride for the Wallabies on Saturday. They have lost three of their last four 2025 Rugby Championship matches, including their last 10 encounters with New Zealand.

Our Australia vs New Zealand Prediction
New Zealand are walking a thin line between hope and disappointment heading into this match. The All Blacks could clinch their 29th Rugby Championship title with a second straight test win against Australia if Argentina hold defending champions South Africa in the other fixture.
For Australia, this match drips with both vengeance and redemption after the first-Test defeat in Auckland dampens their title chances. The four-time champions have struggled against New Zealand and stand little chance despite their home advantage. Our Australia vs New Zealand prediction is New Zealand wins the match.
