DUNEDIN, New Zealand - The Wallabies made three changes after their Rugby Championship trouncing for the return match with the All Blacks in Dunedin this weekend.
Dane Haylett-Petty returns from a bicep injury and replaces Western Force team-mate Curtis Rona on the left wing, while Tevita Kuridrani comes off the reserves bench to oust outside-centre Samu Kerevi.
Coach Michael Cheika also brought in experienced lock Rob Simmons into his starting line-up at the expense of Rory Arnold, who drops to the reserves.
The Wallabies were smashed 54-34 in Sydney last weekend with the world champions New Zealand running in eight tries in their highest-ever score against the Australians.
The Wallabies will need to win in Dunedin on Saturday to keep the Bledisloe Cup series alive for a decider in Brisbane on October 21.
Victory for the All Blacks means they will retain the Bledisloe Cup, which they have held since 2003.
New Zealand have only lost once to the Wallabies in 12 encounters in Dunedin.
Cheika will confirm his bench after Friday's captain's run with Lopeti Timani bracketed alongside one-Test rookie Jack Dempsey.
Meanwhile, All Blacks prop Owen Franks has been ruled out of match with an Achilles problem.
The All Blacks said Nepo Laulala would replace Franks in the starting XV, with Jeff Toomaga-Allen on the bench.
Coach Steve Hansen said 95-Test veteran Franks had been battling Achilles problems all season.
"Franks may be out for a while, so will be monitored. Taking it one step at a time," Hansen tweeted on the All Blacks' official feed.
The All Blacks face Australia in Dunedin after a convincing 54-34 win in Sydney last weekend.
