He's used golf clubs, a tomahawk and the dodgiest drawing of a "poker face" you're ever likely to see but Michael Cheika insists there will be no pre-match antics as the Wallabies attempt to end a 29-year drought at Eden Park.

The Wallabies have the chance to regain the Bledisloe Cup for the first time since 2002 when they run out onto New Zealand Rugby's home-ground. The famous piece of turf in Auckland has not witnessed a Wallabies win since 1986 while the the All Blacks haven't tasted defeat at the venue against any side since 1994. Australia are also sure to be greeted by a New Zealand side desperate for redemption after a faltering display in Sydney allowed their trans-Tasman rivals to claim the Rugby Championship.

There was no evidence of Cheika's fiery dressing-room demeanour before last week's win and the Wallabies coach says he doesn't have any plans to adopt a ploy similar to the one used before the 2014 Super Rugby final where he handed a golf club to each player and told them how it represented their individual role.

"No. No, no, no," Cheika chuckled when asked if something had been tucked away for Saturday night. "I think what we need to be doing is, having the week, just improving every day in our week; you know what I mean? I don't think anything is going to be solved by any pre-match speech or anything like that; this is all about improving a little bit each day so that we can be ready to perform at a level that is going to keep us competitive with New Zealand on Saturday."

One key area of improvement will need to come at the lineout with Cheika's back-row gamble - playing both Michael Hooper and David Pocock in the same starting side - creating some opportunities for the All Blacks to exploit. The double openside-attack otherwise proved to be a raging success, while Cheika hopes improvements would come at the set-piece at training this week.

"Look I think our lineout's been okay; we missed a couple on Saturday but they're a very good reading defensive lineout team," he said. "So, considering the way we had our team set up, it wasn't too bad. Look we obviously want to improve in that area; like I said, just improve a little bit."

While the lineout proved a little shaky, the Wallabies scrum produced easily its finest outing from three Tests this year with Scott Sio proving a revelation at loose-head. But skipper Stephen Moore said Wallabies pack wouldn't be resting on its laurels, knowing the size of the challenge awaiting them at the Auckland graveyard.

"Well if you look across the game, everything we did we're going to need to do better on Saturday over there," Moore said. "So when you look at it that way, there's plenty of stuff to work on; the physical part of the game particularly, around the breakdown, that's going to be a really big contest there. We've got to take a big step up there and likewise in the set-piece as well. So that's going to be a really important part of the game again."
