(Reuters) -Nearly four decades of history is against them, but Wallabies skipper Harry Wilson is convinced that a string of tough tests this year will hold his side in good stead when they throw themselves at the walls of New Zealand's rugby fortress this weekend.
Not since 1986 have the Wallabies beaten the All Blacks at Eden Park and New Zealand could extend their record against all-comers at the famous Auckland ground to 52 tests over 31 years with victory in Saturday's Rugby Championship test.
