Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has surprisingly left Karmichael Hunt out of his squad for Saturday's Bledisloe Cup test in Brisbane.

Hunt is fit and available after recovering from an ankle injury and was thought to be a certain inclusion for the clash against New Zealand, having starred in the June window.

The third clash in two months against the All Blacks is a dead rubber, after August's nailbiter in Dunedin sealed a 15th consecutive Bledisloe Cup series victory for the world champions.

But the Wallabies will be out to prove a point after finishing second in the Rugby Championship with a string of solid, consistent performances.

The All Blacks will take on the Wallabies at 10pm this Saturday in the final Bledisloe Cup test.
