The All Blacks' Auckland fortress has been impregnable for over 30 years but those Australians who last tasted victory there are backing Joe Schmidt's current crop to emulate them

If "it's the hope that kills you" then Wallabies fans have been dying a slow death for 39 years at Eden Park, the venue for this Saturday's first Test of the Bledisloe Cup.

The Auckland venue is the All Blacks' fortress. They have not lost there since 1994 and are unbeaten across 51 Tests (49 wins, two draws). No Australian team has won at Eden Park since the 1986 side led by Andrew Slack and coached by Alan Jones.
