Analysis: New Zealand, playing at New Zealand, are traditionally dominant in friendly internationals against Australia. Given the All Blacks' depth and recent form, they are likely to control the game. Australia may struggle to match New Zealand's intensity, especially in the second half, although they have the capability to score tries given their attacking style.
