Wallabies coach Les Kiss faces a midfield reshuffle after Hunter Paisami's four-week ban, eyeing several options ahead of the crucial Eden Park Bledisloe clash.
Former Wallabies star and two-time World Cup winner Tim Horan has backed Australia to shock the rugby world and claim the illustrious Rugby World Cup trophy a year out from Rugby World Cup 2027.
