Predictions: Bledisloe Cup, PRO14, Top 14 and more…

It’s the third Bledisloe Cup match of 2018 on Saturday with New Zealand hosting Australia in Yokohama in our standout match.

The All Blacks have secured the trophy for 16th year in a row after victories in the first two encounters in Sydney and Auckland.

However, they will not underestimate the Wallabies, who will be determined to repeat last year’s heroics where they beat the world champions in a dead rubber in Brisbane.

Elsewhere, there are a full round of matches in the PRO14 and Top 14 while the Currie Cup and Mitre 10 Cup Finals will also be contested.
