New-look New Zealand take on winless Australia in World Cup warm up

New Zealand and Australia will put out teams with some inexperience for Saturday's World Cup warm-up test in Dunedin, but coaches Ian Foster and Eddie Jones have very different reasons for their selections.

The All Blacks wrapped up another Rugby Championship title and extended their hold on the Bledisloe Cup for another year with a 38-7 win over the Wallabies in Melbourne last week.

Wins in all three tests against Argentina, South Africa and Australia this season have given Foster the freedom to throw in a few wild cards and see how they go before he names his World Cup squad on Monday.

By contrast, the Wallabies have lost all three of their tests this year and Jones is still trying to find the formula that will enable Australia to take advantage of their soft World Cup draw and make a deep run in the tournament.

Foster will blood Super Rugby Pacific standouts Shaun Stevenson and Samipeni Finau under the roof at Dunedin's indoor stadium, while centre Dallas McLeod could make his first test appearance off the bench.

None of three Barrett brothers - Beauden, Scott or Jordie - will start in what is, with notable exceptions such as Ardie Savea, a second-string All Blacks team.

Outside back Stevenson was not even in Foster's squad for the Rugby Championship, coming in as injury cover for Mark Talea and being asked to stick around after the winger recovered.

"Shaun has an opportunity ... and I'm pretty excited about seeing him. It's the last game of this particular phase but there's a lot going on this year, and we're
