– Australia lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto says his team will be ready for a physical battle when they take on New Zealand in the third Bledisloe Cup test in Sydney on Saturday. New Zealand beat Australia 27-7 in the second match in Auckland, with hooker Dane Coles doing his best to ruffle the Wallabies’ feathers on his recall to the starting side. Coles instigated an early confrontation with Wallabies prop Taniela Tupou at Eden Park and ran out of his way to give Salakaia-Loto a pat on the back after Aaron Smith scored the All Blacks’ first try. Salakaia-Loto said he liked the provocation and that the Wallabies were well prepared for whatever came their way in Sydney, Reuters reports. “Wherever you play and whoever you play, you’re always going to have players or come across packs who try to get under your skin,” he said. “It’s good. It’s a fun part of the game and it’s a part of the game I reckon should be encouraged because you get a few laughs and a few smiles out of it.”
