Background
New Zealand, South Africa and Australia were ranked first, second, and third in the IRB World Rankings, but this changed due to Australia's 21–20 loss to England on 16 June 2010. This game moved Australia down to fourth in the IRB World Rankings but they returned to third in rankings a week later, after France's heavy defeat to Argentina and Australia's win against Ireland in the last week of the 2010 mid-year rugby test series.
The final match of the Bledisloe Cup series between Australia and New Zealand took place after the Tri-Nations, on 30 October (the first 3 matches of the series were part of the Tri-Nations).

Jaque Fourie was suspended for four weeks for a spear tackle of Richard Brown. He will miss the Springboks' next Test against the All Blacks.
Quade Cooper was suspended for two weeks for a spear tackle of Morné Steyn. As in the case of Jean de Villiers last week, Cooper's previously good disciplinary history was cited as a mitigating factor. The Australian Rugby Union appealed the length of the ban, presumably because the suspensions of Fourie and de Villiers kept them out of only one Test, but was denied.https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/8854065.stm Australia lose appeal against Quade Cooper suspension BBC Sport 28 July 2010 30 July 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100729071034/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/8854065.stm 29 July 2010 live Cooper was sidelined for the first two Bledisloe Cup Tests in Melbourne and Christchurch.

Following the match, IRB referee chief Paddy O'Brien announced that Cobus Wessels would be dropped as a touch judge for the upcoming New Zealand–Australia Test because of a number of key errors, most notably Wessels' recommendation that Wallabies wing Drew Mitchell receive the first of his two yellow cards for what O'Brien deemed a marginal penalty. As a result, the IRB made a one-off exception to its standard policy of requiring neutral touch judges and referees for international matches, assigning New Zealander Keith Brown to take Wessels' place.https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/linesman-dropped-for-mitchell-yellow-card-call-2042933.html Linesman dropped for Mitchell yellow card call Reuters The Independent London 4 August 2010 7 August 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100809142201/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/linesman-dropped-for-mitchell-yellow-card-call-2042933.html 9 August 2010 live

John Smit earned his 102nd Test cap, equalling the South Africa record of Percy Montgomery.
Morné Steyn extended his personal streak of successful kicks at goal in Tests to 38. Statistics on success rates of goal kickers were not kept until the late 1980s, but it is very likely that Steyn has set an all-time record. Steyn surpassed the previous (recorded) best of Scotland's Chris Paterson at 36.http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/story/123069.html Morné Steyn's goal-kicking record, Tri-Nations clean-sweeps, Scottish captains and Shane Sullivan Ask John John Griffiths ESPNScrum 13 September 2010 17 September 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101030054127/http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/story/123069.html 30 October 2010 live
