Patrick McKendry looks at three players to watch out for in Saturday's encounter.

Will Genia, Wallabies
Genia has cut a forlorn figure recently. He hardly fired a shot for the Reds in their quarter-final loss against the Crusaders and wore a similar look after the third test against the British and Irish Lions in Sydney. However, he remains one of the best halfbacks in the world and a player the All Blacks will be keeping a close eye on. Whether Genia, 25, renews his partnership with Quade Cooper remains to be seen. Coach Ewen McKenzie is a Cooper fan, but also a realist, who might want to ease back a player spurned by Robbie Deans rather than throw him into the fray. Either way, Genia is a pivotal figure.
