All Blacks captain Kieran Read is expecting Sam Cane to start in the second Bledisloe Cup test, despite the openside flanker sitting out yesterday's captain's run in Auckland.

Apparently with an unknown injury, Cane watched on in sneakers and a jacket as the All Blacks went through their final preparations for tonight's clash with the Wallabies at Eden Park.

But asked if Cane would play, Read said he still expected his loose‑forward partner to feature.

If Cane was unable to play, it would be a boost for an Australian side who must win to keep their Bledisloe chances alive after the All Blacks won last weekend's first test 38‑13 in Sydney.

The All Blacks have not lost to Australia at Eden Park for 32 years, not lost at the ground itself in 24 years and have won all 22 matches against the Wallabies in Australia since 2001.

The All Blacks will meet the Wallabies at Eden Park at 7.35 tonight.
