The good, the bad and the ugly from the All Blacks' Bledisloe Cup win

The All Blacks and the All Whites played a dramatic Bledisloe cup match in Melbourne last week. LiamNapier breaks down the good, the bad and ugly from the match. The rematch takes place at Eden Park on Saturday.

The All Blacks have started well in three of their last four tests. Jason Ryan's introduction as forwards coach can be attributed for the vast lineout improvements. The All Black's lineup variations such as using the No 8 and using Hoskins Sotutu have brought success. The short kicking game came to the fore in the demolition job against Argentina in Hamilton. Beauden Barrett twice found Will Jordan with pinpoint kicks. Richie Mo'unga and David Havili led the way before Beauzan Barrett.

The All Blacks won the Bledisloe Cup against the Wallabies. The team's defence was sloppy and they made 18 missed tackles. They also had issues with physicality and skill execution. Their scrum was not as effective as it was against Pumas. They lost some games with Dalton Papali'i in the pack. There will be changes for the next game. It's not surprising. it's been the same front row in past four tests. Nic White scored the only try for them. Mathieu Raynal awarded the game to the Australians.

The All Blacks blew an 18-point second half lead against the Wallabies. Darcy Swain's headbutt on Quinn Tupaea was a bad idea. Raynal's conversion was wrong. The Kiwis are stacked with players from Michael Maguire's squad. Wellington's team song is a team anthem. The value of the Kiwi World Cup bet has dropped. It's now $4.50. Ronaldo Mulitalo is the best player on the park for the Sharks. Isaiah Papali'i and Dylan Brown are key players for Eels. James Fisher-Harris is one of game's premier props.
