Bledisloe Cup 2023 LIVE updates: Australia Wallabies v New Zealand All Blacks second Test results, scores, fixtures, teams, odds, tickets, how to watch

A Quade Cooper fumble and a lack of experienced front-rowers proved costly after the All Blacks rallied from behind to yet again deliver a heartbreaking loss to the Wallabies in the final minutes in Dunedin on Saturday.

Australia led 17-3 at halftime but after allowing the Kiwis to surge back into the game, scores were level at 20-all in the last five minutes and Australia were looking to score some match-winning points.

But a knock-on from Cooper led to a scrum, and with the Wallabies fielding one debutant front-rower and another in his second Test, the All Blacks won a penalty and Richie Mo’unga kicked a 78th minute goal from 40 metres out to seal the win.

It brought back painful memories of the Wallabies’ last visit to Dunedin in 2017, when New Zealand also scored in the last two minutes to win, and dashed Australia’s chance of breaking a drought of victories in New Zealand dating back to 2001.

It was a spirited performance, with lots of positives from a Wallabies side which hasn’t shown much in 2023, but it left coach Eddie Jones with a scowl on his face at full-time, knowing full well the Wallabies had blown a major chance to down the All Blacks.
