Ardie Savea has joined the All Blacks squad in Auckland, where the All Blacks are expecting to face a physical Wallabies side this Saturday in the final round of the Rugby Championship.
The loose forward missed the first Bledisloe Cup Test for the birth of his son, Kove Masina-Moon Savea.
Assistant coach Jason Ryan confirmed Savea has reported for duty fresh and selectable for their match at Eden Park.
The Wallabies lost the Bledisloe Cup for another year with their heartbreaking 39-37 defeat last Thursday.
New Zealand and South Africa lead the competition standings with 14 points each, with the All Blacks on top with a 13-point better differential than the Springboks.
The All Blacks will meet the Wallabies at 7.05pm Saturday, and the Springboks will play Argentina at 3.05am Sunday.
