The Wallabies head into the match as the underdogs but with both sides having had impressive World Cup campaigns to date, they will be hopeful that they can pull of an unexpected victory.
Neither side has tasted defeat so far in this World Cup as both topped their pools with 4-0 records and have won their way through the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
However that run of wins has to end for one of these two teams. New Zealand certainly look the strongest heading in but a poor first half against the Springboks last week suggests they are not unbeatable.
Australia needed a little bit of luck to get past their quarter-final meeting with Scotland but had a more comfortable victory over Argentina last week, defeating the Pumas 29-15.
The Wallabies are out to $3 in the betting markets to come away with a win, while the All Blacks are the clear favourites at $1.41.
