All Blacks aim to keep Australia on the "back foot from the start"

Will Jordan’s move to All Blacks fullback has been short lived.  

Jordan shifts back to the right wing for Saturday afternoon’s Bledisloe Cup test in Sydney, with Beauden Barrett restored to fullback and Caleb Clarke on the left wing.  

It’s the same back three that started in Johannesburg against the Springboks, before Barrett switched to the bench for Cape Town.  

Coach Scott Robertson says they believe it’s best for this week with Clarke now fit again. 

Jordan told Mike Hosking that while Australia is not South Africa, they all know how important the Bledisloe Cup is, and losing that certainly provides plenty of fear. 

He said that it’s about maintaining or even lifting their intensity from over in South Africa, and making sure they put Australia on the back foot from the start.
