(Reuters) - Australia are not thinking about their 35-year drought against the All Blacks at Eden Park where the teams face off in their Bledisloe Cup opener on Saturday, assistant coach Scott Wisemantel said on Friday.

Australia head into the match at New Zealand's Auckland fortress - where they have not beaten them since 1986 - without winger Marika Koroibete who was one of three players ruled out for breaking a team curfew over a drinking session.
