I'd say we're still likely to see AKL-MEL/SYD keep at least an single 772/77W/789 service, once the A321 are introduced. The wide bodies are needed to carry cargo, at the premium prices NZ charges.

example currently on an Monday, AKL-SYD
NZ101 - 763
NZ703 - A320
NZ119 - 763
NZ105 - 763
NZ709 - A320

3x A321 wouldn't be able to cover the 3x 763 sectors
