And on Saturday night the Warriors are paying $3-1 to halt their end of season slump in Penrith against the Panthers.
The trans-Tasman battles will shape the sporting landscape, particularly in netball and rugby where the Wallabies seek to end an almighty hoodoo.
The Wallabies must halt a 29-year winless streak at Auckland's imposing Eden Park to capture the coveted Bledisloe - and take bragging rights ahead of the looming World Cup.
The Bledisloe battle will - hopefully from an Australian-New Zealand view - precede the Netball World Cup final on Sunday between the nations.
The dream fixture depends on both doing as they should - winning - in Saturday's semis. New Zealand are paying $3.50 to win the tournament while Australia are $1.30 favourites.
Trans-Tasman odds:
Tall Blacks over Boomers @$10
Silver Ferns to win World Cup @$3.50
Warriors to beat Panthers @$3
All Blacks to beat Wallabies @1.22
