Wallabies believe they can beat the All Blacks

Team Wallabies in training

The Wallabies have more belief than ever they can beat the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship opener.

That's the opinion of second‑rower Adam Coleman, who is adamant he and teammates have the mental fortitude to put a shocking Super Rugby season behind them and orchestrate what would be nothing short of a major upset.

The Wallabies have settled into base at the foot of the mountains in Penrith, training at the same venue as the Panthers yesterday.

Going deep into rugby league territory is not the norm for the Wallabies but getting away from the big smoke might help them concentrate even more ahead of an all‑important clash with the All Blacks at 10pm Saturday at Sydney's ANZ Stadium.

Coming away from Sydney with a victory will be a monumental task for Michael Cheika's men, given Australian Super Rugby teams were unable to beat a single New Zealand side this year from 26 attempts.

South Africa will take on Argentina at 3.05am Sunday.
