00:00In Auckland, so much to unpack from that opening 40 minutes.
00:03The Wallabies trailing by just three points to the All Blacks.
00:06Stay with us on your own Rugby Nine and Standsport.
00:22Games deliver us the big hits, the big moments, the big tries
00:26from the biggest players in Rugby Union
00:28and Bledisloe No. 1 for 2026 is living up to the billing.
00:32It's great to have your company on your home of Rugby,
00:34the Nine Network and Standsport.
00:35Alana Ferguson, Justin Harrison alongside me.
00:38Pre-game, it was discussed the Wallabies needed to start fast.
00:41Alana, start fast. They did in Auckland.
00:43Yeah, they did and they had the opportunity early on,
00:45three minutes in, to take a penalty.
00:47They turned down the three points a couple of times
00:49but they were able to just be in that territory
00:51and build pressure that way.
00:52I thought this was absolute brilliance from Tom Wright.
00:55The way that he straightened up.
00:56It straightened up and it was a lovely little tip on
00:58from Ben Donaldson but to make the most of that opportunity
01:02was massive.
01:03Well, the counterpunch from the All Blacks
01:04was pretty swift and brutal.
01:06Line break, win the aerial battle
01:08and Lacai goes in in the corner.
01:10That's how dangerous this All Black side are.
01:12They are good at putting back-to-back pressure.
01:15Yeah, they opened up the game.
01:16I thought we saw the Wallabies' defence really back off
01:19for a large period of that.
01:21Viya goes over but that was just when they had so much momentum.
01:24A lot of the time you saw the Kiwis' Blacks
01:26in and around some tired forwards of the Wallabies.
01:28They earned the territory and played off the back of it.
01:30Absolutely.
01:31The Wallabies are going punch for punch now.
01:33They've found a way.
01:34This is what we've seen, the improvement of the Wallaby team.
01:36Ball retention, get down that half
01:38and create with some plays designed around a rush defence.
01:41Donaldson gets through.
01:42Harry Wilson brings the house down.
01:4437th minute.
01:45He would have blown the roof off at the watch party
01:47at Bill Young's pub down at the Gem Hotel
01:49in Griffiths as well.
01:50Let me tell you.
01:51Harry Wilson scoring a try in each of his past four tests.
01:54Just the third Wallabies captain to score a try
01:56at Eden Park and Bleslow Cup match.
01:59The others being Rocky Olsen and Michael Hooper.
02:02If we take a look at our defensive highlight,
02:04thanks to Defender.
02:05It's not highlight, Justin Harrison.
02:06Highlights from one of the tall timbers, that man, Jeremy Williams.
02:09I thought it was important to see back-to-back efforts
02:11because we've talked about effort off the ball
02:13and this is effort on the ball.
02:15Jeremy Williams, we mentioned before the game started
02:17how important it is defensively to put pressure on
02:20in the air, in the line-out.
02:21He's done that tick-tick.
02:22And then on the ground for such a big man,
02:24he gets over the ball very quickly.
02:25That's the way to boss the space.
02:26That's the way to get your team moving forward.
02:30He's become a real nuisance defensively for the Wallabies,
02:34hasn't he?
02:34Whether it's the line-out, whether it's a sneaky break,
02:36down, turnover or penalty earned for his team, Alana.
02:39Yeah, I think his urgency and his accuracy is key
02:42and we need those players.
02:43We need to constantly be niggling
02:45but be accurate about that execution.
02:47And Jeremy Williams is one of those players
02:49that's really stood the test.
02:50We're sitting in the comfort of the studio
02:52watching the Wallabies take on the All Blacks.
02:54On the sideline, are Michael Hooper and Matt Burke
02:56contending with the conditions
02:57and contending with, no doubt,
02:59a very parochial crowd over there, fellas.
03:04That's exactly right, Adko.
03:06And it's a little bit fresher at the moment as well.
03:08Michael, that first 40 minutes,
03:09we saw lots of energy.
03:11What did you just make of the forwards' performance?
03:13I've been really impressed with the forwards.
03:15In particular, Harry Wilson's really leading things.
03:17Some really good chop tackles,
03:19getting his men into the game.
03:20Jeremy Williams, as you just heard Justin Harrison speak about,
03:23has been everywhere in line-outs, on the ground.
03:26They've been really impressive so far, Berkey.
03:27What's Les Kisses' message for the second half?
03:30Stay in it.
03:31They're turning up.
03:31They're putting pressure on.
03:33They just had a big defensive blow to this Kiwi team,
03:36holding them out, making them take the three points.
03:39So they're well and truly in this game.
03:40You've just got to keep putting the All Blacks under pressure.
03:42I also reckon one of the key points that Australia needs to do
03:44is get Ben Donaldson involved.
03:46He had a really good hand in that try from Harry Wilson.
03:48It's taking a go.
03:49The other one is, it's swirling a little bit here at the moment
03:52at Eden Park.
03:53We've seen our defensive play, our full-back not coming forward.
03:56Tom Wright needs to come forward.
03:57And nullify that ball there.
03:59That's where most of the times the All Blacks have had their chance
04:01to actually get the ball and have a crack.
04:04Defence has got to be a bit stronger as well, Michael.
04:06Lining up, the boys have spoken about during commentary.
04:09But I'll tell you what, it's exciting here.
04:11We're looking forward to that second 40.
04:13Thank you, Michael Hooper.
04:14Thank you, Matt Berg.
04:15Plenty of action still to come from Eden Park.
04:16Plenty of entertainment on stand as well,
04:18including a new show from lovable Aussie larrikin, Hamish Blake.
04:23Plenty going right.
04:24Matt Pelez kisses men in New Zealand.
04:2740 minutes to create history.
04:29Can they end a 40-year hoodoo at Eden Park?
04:32They trail the All Blacks 17-14 at halftime.
04:35Don't go anywhere.
04:36Back more after this.
04:4617-14 the score at halftime, Eden Park in Auckland.
04:52It was a thrilling first half between the Wallabies and All Blacks.
04:59New Zealand currently on a 53-game unbeaten run at this venue.
05:04Australia have not won here since 1986.
05:11Can they create history?
05:12They've got 40 minutes to try and edge past the home side.
05:17Two tries each.
05:21Brighton, Wilson for Australia.
05:23Die and Lackey for New Zealand.
05:26Ben Donaldson instrumental in the try scored by Wilson just before halftime.
05:30Halftime, so it's three points the difference.
05:37An Australian needing a win or a draw to keep the Bledisloe Cup alive in 2026.
05:47So it is Barrett who gets us restarted.
05:51It's taken nicely from Wright.
05:53Now he finds Jorgensen who cuts infield.
05:55Who goes back to Wright.
05:57Who toes it ahead now.
05:58Wants his one to check.
06:00To sit softly there for Barrett.
06:03Almost caught by McWright.
06:05He spins away from the chasing Frazman Wright.
06:08Bells there.
06:09So is Valentini.
06:10Tied it up well in the end by New Zealand.
06:14But what a charge down the right there from Jorgensen after work from Wright.
06:20Now we've got a penalty.
06:21Doesn't matter.
06:23Don't take player.
06:24Pass the ball.
06:25That was a heads up play wasn't it from the Wallabies.
06:28A little bit of back check from the Wallabies to Andrew Brice.
06:30The referee didn't like that.
06:33Okay just wait.
06:35Captain.
06:35Where's Cody?
06:37Okay just kick the ball and then I'll speak to him.
06:41Come here.
06:45Shout with me like that five times okay.
06:47Shouting offside.
06:48Offside.
06:49Offside.
06:49Okay.
06:50I'm going to penalize you.
06:51Okay.
06:53I think he had a point though.
06:54I think Frazman Wright might have been in front of Max Jorgensen.
06:57Always on that chase upfield.
07:02That's good heads up play.
07:04Look at Jorgensen's ability to stay in and be aware.
07:09Frazman McRite is definitely offside.
07:11So he gets that right Cody Taylor.
07:14Andrew Brice showing he doesn't want to hear from either side really.
07:17It's a poor discipline error.
07:19From Jeremy Williams to let the All-Bucks get back to there after the good work.
07:24Taylor.
07:25That's what he's talking to from Brice.
07:27Find Scott Barrett.
07:28Lackey over to Roy Guard.
07:30Widered out of Jordy Barrett.
07:31There are runners in motion on the outside.
07:34Suleyki tries to get Carter, but he stands strong in the tackle.
07:40Swannett have come out with some fizz in this second half.
07:44Now the long ball.
07:45Oh, and they're in a touch New Zealand down the left.
07:49Okay.
07:53Do you tell you what, when Dane McKenzie gets the ball,
07:55he's got about five or six options and runners inside, runners outside.
08:01That time he went to Barrett.
08:02That's a great tackle from Max Jorgensen.
08:07But conversely, it's the first time the Wallabies defense have got their spacing right.
08:12Defended the full width of the field.
08:13And they almost go side to side all the way.
08:17You stay.
08:17And they weren't beaten.
08:20Let's go.
08:27Williams brings it down for McWright, who stands and fires it away to Lonegan.
08:32Henry off the hip there to Valentini.
08:35It's a rejigged Australian backline with Niki Tao off.
08:39He failed his HIA, which has forced a reshuffle.
08:43Henry.
08:43Okay, hold it front.
08:44To Donaldson.
08:44Changing up the direction here.
08:46And Potter goes through.
08:48And now they're spacing behind for Bodenberg at the toe-in-ahead.
08:51Donaldson is rushing back.
08:54They want to beat everyone into touch.
08:58He's trying to give up some handy metres.
09:04Ben Donaldson had a couple of runners on his left there.
09:06Joseph Sueli probably just should have handed the ball off to him
09:09when he carted through the middle.
09:12A lot of his have to get past seven-plus phases to try and put some pressure
09:17on the All Blacks' defence.
09:24Stay two, seven.
09:31Williams.
09:33Filling it right again.
09:34Flat is.
09:35Valentini at pace.
09:36Bobby V through.
09:37And now no look balling away to McWright.
09:41Lonegan.
09:42Wide up.
09:43Whips it to Donaldson.
09:44Donaldson sees some space and now kicks it in behind.
09:47Once Jorgensen needs a soft landing for the ball here.
09:51Gets it.
09:52And the Aussies have the line-out five from New Zealand's line.
09:57That's better from Ben Donaldson.
09:59The way he got that ball and kept it in field, Borgs.
10:03I got excited too by that.
10:05It was a great choice, wasn't it?
10:06To change up at line-out two with McWright quickly short to Valentini.
10:10And then Donaldson playing the play sees, not the one that they've called.
10:15Inside Fletcher Newell.
10:17That's where Rob Valentini went.
10:26It's Wilson at the back who brings it down.
10:29Penalty.
10:30Structions at the end.
10:31No clear access.
10:34Just there too.
10:40No clear access.
10:42Trying to see who Andrew Brace penalised.
10:44There might have been Luka and Solakai Loltog coming in behind the player who went up for the ball.
10:53Watch the lifter just slide in front.
10:56He could have got Angus Bell.
10:58He's the one right in front.
10:59Maybe Valentini.
11:00But you see if there's a Wallaby jersey between the jumper at line-out time for Australia
11:06and those All-Blacks defenders, that's illegal obstruction.
11:09Which is for Jason Harrison's pen snap in the studio with frustration.
11:15A little unhappy with that.
11:18Call was right, though.
11:20If you move again, I'm going to free kick you.
11:21You stay on my...
11:22No, no.
11:22I will deal with that if he closes.
11:24I don't want it too big.
11:25Is that clear?
11:27No, no.
11:27Don't worry about them.
11:28Stepping along very well.
11:30What a night is referee Andrew Brace doing a terrific job managing his first play design.
11:35Come on, yeah, let's go!
11:39And the throw from Taylor, the Lord at the front.
11:41Lackey pulls away and goes to Satiti who leads the game four.
11:47And he was at!
11:48With ball in hand, Roy guard now.
11:51It's away from Williams.
11:56Donato takes it bravely under pressure.
11:59And Carter's there to put pressure on.
12:03And they win the penalty.
12:08Well, the timing of the shot from Jordy Barrett went up, knew he wasn't going to get the ball
12:15and just waited and went whack.
12:17Who did?
12:19This fella?
12:21Yeah, yeah.
12:22The information I've got is you're throwing a boot away.
12:25No, no.
12:26It doesn't happen again.
12:32So the All Blacks, they survived the first six minutes of this second half.
12:39They scrambled well.
12:41There's the shot under the ribs on Ben Donaldson.
12:45Just wait, time off.
12:48Time off.
12:53Hangar Moser off.
12:54Josh Nasher on for the Wallabies.
12:56Jersey 16.
12:58Swapped.
13:01That guy spins it away under pressure.
13:03Barrett.
13:04Off the hip to Carter.
13:07Roygaard.
13:08Deep is McKenzie.
13:10Now Tupaya looking at beats.
13:12Oh, he ducks into the tackle.
13:14Oh, he's regathered.
13:15Way to Donaldson.
13:17Newham.
13:18Look right there.
13:19Clean down Roygaard.
13:21Onside.
13:21Panning.
13:22Laying up his options.
13:24Sutiti.
13:27Wilson with another desperate tackle.
13:31Back.
13:32Tipping on here to Carter.
13:33Well met by Jorgensen in that near channel.
13:38Sutiti.
13:40Taken down by Arletoa and Wilson.
13:45And his phase has been built here by the home team.
13:48Williams called out of the play.
13:49Roygaard there.
13:50Now for De Groot.
13:53Wilson once more, the top tackler tonight.
13:56He's got the huge.
13:59All backs trot.
14:01Roygaard.
14:02Sutiti.
14:04Valentini.
14:04Big in the tackle.
14:05Belgo is dripping at it.
14:06Valentini at the top.
14:08I thought about it.
14:09Then pulled out of the breakdown.
14:11McKenzie.
14:12Shorty though.
14:12Here's Carter.
14:14An elusive runner when he gets moving.
14:17Scott Barrett.
14:18Isaac Henry muscles up on him.
14:21That's 12 phases now.
14:23Balls there for Roygaard.
14:25Faye.
14:25Faye.
14:26Tuck passing away to McKenzie.
14:28They're well lined up.
14:29And the passes are sticking.
14:32Here comes Shorten.
14:33Holds it up.
14:33Taken in by Lonnigan.
14:35Who then rushes the kick away.
14:38Lonnigan.
14:39Saves a certain try.
14:42Ok, ok.
14:45I doubt standing rugby from both sides.
14:47The discipline and patience.
14:49To wait for this opportunity here from the All Blacks.
14:53Off the back a great defence from the Wallabies.
14:55And then the scramble from Lonnigan.
14:57When Jordan thought he'd put it back row away.
15:00They did well at attack.
15:02Tim Hoare and this All Blacks team.
15:03But the Wallabies didn't give up.
15:04Well they've got so much depth they.
15:07Through Danny McKenzie.
15:09If it's slower ball he'll take about three or four metres back.
15:12And give himself time.
15:14He understands the rush up defence.
15:16What he has to do.
15:17He sat back a little bit and did the little pop pass.
15:20And plenty of players in motion outside of him.
15:25Yeah we're happy it's on player right.
15:26Much better connection defensively from this Wallabies team.
15:30Michael Hooper.
15:31How are you seeing it?
15:32Water off please.
15:33Same for them.
15:34Same for them.
15:34Exactly that.
15:35Morgan Tiranui.
15:36Really good defensive passage.
15:38Albeit outstanding.
15:40All Black team does get through there with some silky play from Danny McKenzie.
15:43There's Nathan Charles.
15:45On screen.
15:46A captain's run yesterday.
15:47Alongside Phil Waugh.
15:49Okay let's go.
15:50His partner there.
15:51Scramble from Ryan Lonergan.
15:54Where's that can show up by the end of this match.
15:56Huge moment there to get back.
15:58Get that ball out.
16:01No contest.
16:02Offensive effort from his former side here with Cheesy Charles.
16:05More.
16:07Siding MND.
16:09It's a terrific job of trying to stave off.
16:12Still moving.
16:13Awful, awful disease.
16:17Okay one stop.
16:19It's called a stop.
16:20Taylor they rebind.
16:23Move it.
16:23And Taylor's taking down one short.
16:25It spits out for Roygaard who jammies his course.
16:36Well the All Blacks go virtually 100 metres over the last three minutes.
16:41They defended on their own trial line when the Wallabies were down that end of the field.
16:46And they just squeeze a team.
16:48You know sometimes what's coming with the All Blacks but you still can't stop them.
16:53Cam Roygaard.
16:56They did quite a good job the Wallabies at them all time but then.
17:00As the All Blacks sports fan to the left.
17:02What was it Mike?
17:03They just ran out of numbers to mark up opposite a black jersey.
17:07And Roygaard the ever present threat.
17:10He strikes.
17:18McKenzie looking to reestablish that ten point lead and he does just that.
17:30He's got to give it a little bit of a moment to the 150 All Black Tech best veteran.
17:36Bowden Barrett.
17:37It's a big save early on in this second half.
17:41He's giving his team a chance now.
17:42Try on the board.
17:44Gap this Wallaby side a little bit.
18:01And do that.
18:02Good start.
18:04Good start.
18:05Back to the Trader.
18:05Roygaard.
18:06He's now kicking.
18:08Again it's Carter from that right side.
18:11Boyd can't hang on.
18:12Carter can.
18:16Jordan sorry.
18:19It is Carter at the bottom of the screens wanting.
18:22All right.
18:22Satini will take it on for the moment.
18:25Boyd guard.
18:27That one looks.
18:29Flat.
18:30Very flat.
18:31It's play on.
18:34Bowden Barrett.
18:35Off to Tapaya.
18:38Carter goes in and mops up the breakdown.
18:43McKenzie with a flat ball there for Lackey.
18:46Went right.
18:47Trying to get his hands on it.
18:49Hold down.
18:50All the momentum with the home side at the moment.
18:54Jordy Barrett taken down and a beautiful tackle by Bell.
18:59McKenzie holding up for Taylor now.
19:01Taylor gets on his knees and goes again.
19:04Okay.
19:04And then it's lost.
19:05He's knocked on the floor.
19:06Jordan has a look around and says I was keen for a dart there.
19:09Won't get it.
19:10Swim feet.
19:11He's with a strut out.
19:13Number three gold.
19:17Here's the try from Cam Roygaard.
19:21There's too much power.
19:24A lot of patience from this all-black team.
19:26A lot of trust as well.
19:28They stepped it up in the second half.
19:32Massimo Dolutis is on for Alan Alatoa.
19:37Wallabies in the tit for tat of the score.
19:39Need to strike first.
19:40They need to stay in this spot.
19:44Stay left to the mark, okay?
19:48Balanced boys.
19:49Defensively for the Wallabies.
19:50Need to see the break foot.
19:51Skipper Harry Wilson.
19:5315 tackles so far.
19:56Early in the second half.
19:57Seconds.
19:59He's been everywhere.
20:02Crouch.
20:06Find.
20:09Set.
20:15Scrum is steady.
20:16Donaldson.
20:17We're gonna get it.
20:18A lot of danger.
20:20And...
20:22We'll find touch.
20:24About 35 from his try line.
20:26Number eight black.
20:27Eight.
20:36There's been a lot of ball in play in this match.
20:38Time on.
20:39We're all black at 60% possession.
20:42They want some fresh legs.
20:44They want to the bench.
20:46Quite early for them as well.
20:55Three kicks a call against Australia.
20:59Bell almost stole it.
21:02Here's Barrett.
21:06Black eye.
21:06Black eye.
21:06Shuffles it on to Barrett.
21:08Pulls it out the back.
21:08Mackenzie.
21:09Now on the ankle is...
21:11Bowden Barrett.
21:12Gets to the outside.
21:14There for Roygaard.
21:16Keeps it alive for Black eye.
21:18Fraser McRyde all over that one.
21:21It's still there for Roygaard.
21:22Vi Vi now.
21:24Valentini.
21:26Hangs on to Vi.
21:28Carter.
21:29Over to Lorde.
21:30Holds it up for Seigneur the new man.
21:33No!
21:33Second!
21:37Jordi Barrett.
21:38To Jordan.
21:40Roygaard sniping.
21:42Holding it up for Tepaia.
21:44Who makes another key tackle.
21:47Can they turn him away here under all sorts of pressure Australia?
21:51Jordi Barrett.
21:52Short to Lackey.
21:54Jorgensen makes the stop.
21:56Roygaard.
21:57Again to the left.
21:58They keep coming around the corner.
22:03Straightening up.
22:04Straightening up his Vi.
22:07Carter.
22:09Darting in tight.
22:10It's relentless from the All Blacks.
22:12And the captain's in.
22:19And he knows that's an important score for his side.
22:25The All Blacks here at Eaton Park this evening.
22:29Have been absolutely outstanding at recycling possession.
22:33Making the gold jerseys show up and they can't show up enough.
22:37The lateral step.
22:38And strong powerful is over.
22:44That's one.
22:45Just so much trust in the players around them at the moment.
22:48It doesn't matter what number is on the back of the All Blacks at the moment.
22:53There's forwards and backs interchanging.
22:55And there's nothing.
22:58It's just simple rugby.
23:05Mackenzie.
23:06Nails the conversion.
23:09And it's a 17 point lead now for the All Blacks.
23:15Simple rugby but done so well.
23:17Timmy Horan.
23:18Cam Roygaard.
23:19I think it's just been the difference in this second half.
23:22He's been showing variation.
23:24He stands.
23:25He delivers.
23:26He runs.
23:27It's been exceptional this second half.
23:28And moving in.
23:31He's one.
23:34He's one.
23:35Use it.
23:38Boygaard.
23:41Another new man.
23:44So Taylor scores and gets tossed to Traxel.
23:49Pointed towards the sideline as...
23:53Boets if Reigns start to fall at Eaton Park.
23:56Again, that might win, another contestable high ball, as Vai taking it on, is it nine?
24:10Roy Gale, sends it high, and there's some huge big coming through, Jordan and Barrett,
24:17he did a good job in the end too, hang on under all types of pressure, Williams trying to spin
24:24his way out of the tackle there of Jordy Barrett.
24:33Nasser, it will set her in tight to the run, so it's there now for Lonegan.
24:46Taken easily by McKenzie, there's more and more space starting to open up for the likes of Barrett to try
24:53and exploit here for the Allbacks,
24:55and they work it to the short side where Vai's waiting, key tackle made by Valentini.
25:03Space, a little closer now for Almuda to almost work his way through.
25:08Bodhi Barrett, with a stop-step run, dropped by Lonegan, Roy Gale, a little runner in behind,
25:16and Donaldson have just let this one go into touch.
25:21Isn't it great to see Bodhi Barrett still got plenty in his legs, his 146th Test match.
25:29Some rumours around that him and his brother, Scott Barrett, might have signed for the Bristol Bears over the UK
25:35Premiership.
25:35Angus.
25:38Angus.
25:39That 10-15 interchange between Bodhi Barrett.
25:43Same for you guys, don't close.
25:44And Dame McKenzie's been outstanding as Aidan Ross comes onto the field, jersey 17.
25:50Not too big, Harry.
25:52Well, Alana Ferguson identified a pre-show for our Stand Sport viewers that they might interchange as ball players on
25:56both sides of the ruck,
25:57and it's been important.
25:58Michael Hooper mentioned Cam Roygaard.
25:59Those three off the back of a hard-working team have very much orchestrated this league.
26:08Picked off now by New Zealand at the line-out.
26:13And they've got men to burn down that right side.
26:20Roygaard obviously come back towards the posts.
26:26Cigna.
26:29Taken out by De Vujicis.
26:32De Vujicis.
26:34Hammered there by Wilson.
26:37He is landing some shots, Harry Wilson.
26:41That is...
26:425-3 black.
26:43Fellas, stop shouting at me, please.
26:45I've said it to them.
26:46Stop shouting.
26:4721st tackle of the night.
26:49Still got 22 to go.
26:56Okay, Wallabies have to find a way here to get him behind this defensive line.
27:02There's a couple of little chip-kicks potentially on for this Wallaby team.
27:07Because Bowden-Barrows defending a long way back, so...
27:10That's what they've got to start to look for.
27:12Shannon Frizzell on.
27:13Jersey number 19.
27:15Going to see him back in the black jersey.
27:19Sorry, guys.
27:20Number four gold.
27:22Four.
27:23Oh, dear.
27:26There's a few more changes being made here by...
27:29Both coaches.
27:30Looks like...
27:31Balance behind.
27:31Lucky Shaw is on for Jeremy Williams.
27:34Time on.
27:45Seconds.
27:47Two.
27:48Coming out.
27:50Crouch.
27:54Bind.
27:57Set.
28:03One again.
28:04Out the back for Donaldson.
28:05Swellity.
28:06Lovely ball there for Donaldson who gets it to the edge.
28:08Pot up.
28:10Pots himself back infield in behind Jorgensen.
28:12Tupaya's over the top.
28:15And that was all a little easy for the All Blacks outside centre.
28:21Well, he penalises, really, Harry Potter for poor body shape on the ground.
28:26He doesn't even really need to see Quintu Pia.
28:29Ends up on his back.
28:30Has to try and get an extra roll in.
28:32Has to try and get an extra roll in.
28:32As I said to Harry.
28:32Just a lot of voices coming in.
28:35And every referee there wants to give a reward to the defensive team who have done a good job.
28:44He steps back in and as he's tapped, he lands on his back and he's got a roll to save
28:48himself.
28:49And he...
28:50Daudi Barrett knows that they've got to stay on top of this wall of his team that have come back
28:54from worse spots than this.
28:56Yeah, yeah.
28:57Six.
28:58Two and two.
28:59Three, four, five sets.
29:01He's even getting to consider.
29:02That's what?
29:03Incredible.
29:05Stolen away by Australia, though.
29:06Australia's defensive work at a lot of times has been wonderful tonight.
29:10Suat Ali takes it for a spin.
29:13No!
29:14No!
29:14No!
29:15No!
29:15No!
29:15No!
29:16No!
29:16We're good.
29:16And then the top was called out of the playlor.
29:18Lundigan with a quick kick.
29:20Long in the direction of Bowden Barrett.
29:23Happy to put Boot to ball, in the direction of Donaldson.
29:30The crossfield kicks here for Harry Wilson.
29:33Seconder was waiting, Potter keeps the life for Henry Henry.
29:36He's gone without the ball for pretty much over this second half.
29:39It just has not gone.
29:41He was that in his direction.
29:44a change-up into the inside center position after Lenny Kitau went off and use it nine
29:50about 15 minutes of play Lonegan
29:55kicks again
29:58McKenzie caught well
30:01does an equally good job of keeping alive and now sent along by Jordan to Donaldson
30:09and soft gold no options in and around him to try and exploit the ball in hand so it was
30:16forced
30:17into the kick McKenzie looks in behind the Knights opening try score it's on right
30:25comes back there's plenty of gold jerseys around him to secure possession Lonegan Ross
30:32Guy goes over the top loses his feet so it's still there
30:36the Aussie number nine Nasser gets an awkward angle there and goes horizontal through a couple of
30:43bodies Wilson lunging forward
30:48can't break down this all-backs defense for the moment Salakar Lotto tips it away
30:53Shaw goes in and secures possession after all that Tom Wright has the kick
31:00and kicks too far he's saying it was touched stop stop
31:07touch so complaining about a touch just if it's clear touch I don't have it live
31:17okay stop coming at me fellas stop Harry come here please
31:21sorry one clearly touch players you need to get this message across out I'm going to penalize
31:25good refereeing from Andrew Bryce just allowing the TMO
31:28they're complaining about touching flights there's nothing clear on field
31:34well it's pretty clear off field last warning last warning
31:40get the mobile phone out there Sean play fight number seven okay
31:50you've got to trust us to do our job
32:02quick decision from the TMO the right one and move on
32:05a lot of short line outs this afternoon from the wallabies they go again no contest
32:14short down for McDermott Donaldson
32:18good ball away from Valentini got it away to Matt Wright who was
32:21charging onto it now Salakar Lotto keeps it alive for Henry Henry at the back
32:31he's trying to keep it alive on the outside
32:35they have to start having a deep down by 17 with 17 to go and just didn't find the mark
32:49it's a loss forward so the all-black scrum option called
32:54okay let's go Scott please
33:00that's an occasion where Tom Wright's really got to be strong and come off his right foot and go
33:04infield and try and keep the play continuing
33:09plenty of time for this wallaby team take the Dermott on can spark something at scrum half
33:14seconds
33:17just thinking back to the same venue last year 12 months back all of his trouble
33:2117 and early go back to within two
33:26before New Zealand pulled away again in the closing stages so they have been in this position
33:31in recent times
33:34lackey goes over the top of take him back nine Mcgermott there use it
33:39and he brought themselves back into the contest Roy guard
33:45beautifully taken by a rampaging vine who got it uncontested and Roy guard
33:5015 goes up and goes again looking for a 50-22 can't get it Jorgensen beats one can't get away
33:57from Tobiah
33:58last feet
34:00and use it
34:04McDermott Wilson standing and sending it to Tom Wright who sends the crossfield kick backwards to
34:11Potter who scrambles back now gets out of one he gets the ball around the corner to Henry
34:15he gathered the shield to backwards beautifully and somehow Australia hang a little bit
34:25Salakai Lotto
34:28crashes it forward close to the right
34:30he's going to turn it
34:37whips the kick away
34:39and we'll have an all-blacks line out
34:43players around Tom Wright was
34:48we're encouraging him to have a crack at that kick and
34:51still want to find space on the edges
34:55just going to go forward first
34:57yep
35:00tap down from
35:02Vai to Roy guard
35:05to power in the midfield
35:07settles it now segment
35:11Roy guard
35:13pivots and finds McKenzie's coming around the corner
35:16to fire freeze it up for Bodhi Barrett
35:21Roy guard with a change up to Laka
35:24who keeps it alive
35:25to Carter who drives at the line
35:29and slams down
35:33what will likely be the bled is low cup winner
35:41we play time on
35:43there's concern for Carter
35:46but look at the black jersey swing left late
35:48a little riff-raff play
35:49and they stack up
35:51one of these actually scrambled quite well
35:53they think crisis averted but then the little drop underneath as well
35:57well done staying alive from Carter
36:01Cam Roy guard a master class
36:04I just attracts two players
36:06Fraser McWright and also Rob Ballantini
36:09and then Lakae getting the ball off the ground
36:13well that's where the injuries come
36:14a bit of a hit drop
36:16from Rob Ballantini
36:20light rain
36:22and he gets the ball down
36:25ground it's good no separation from the fingers from the hands so
36:28Troy is good
36:30tries good so is a conversion
36:33and it's been all the all-backs in this second half
36:36it was 17-14 at the turn
36:39Michael Hooper they have got it working beautifully now
36:43yeah it's been comprehensive in this second half
36:45Shawnee
36:47all of these are going to need to
36:48short kick off try and get back in this game
36:51flex their muscle a little bit
36:53time's still on yeah
36:54tough scene sink hard after scoring a try go off there

39:35same
39:36yeah
39:36okay
39:37it's certainly nothing

39:59and that's the second one okay so you need to have a word with 11. well harry wilson
40:04he'll be forgiven for 11. i'm trying to buy some time to catch his breath he's made 26 tackles
40:10tonight it's a left arm
40:11peculiar effort in defense
40:14on the second half the wallabies haven't had any conor new he hardly touched the ball
40:19this game plan from dave runny the coach of the all blacks
40:23he's just kept the ball in play and put pressure on
40:26the wallabies defense and tied the wallabies out haven't given the ball back to them
40:31the penalties against joseph suoli high tackle
40:36the next 10 minutes are important for the wallabies
40:40it's all 11 no arms they'll meet the all blacks again next week in sydney
40:47on a huge day for the sport
40:54they want to finish on a positive note with these last 10 minutes and starts by resisting here
41:00sack is good
41:01sack is good work for the lobby forwards there to shut down that rolling wall from the all backs but
41:06the
41:07threat has not been entirely dealt with just yet they just keep banging away that was scott barrett
41:15one another man who led the harker riko you want it short for almua
41:22explodes his way towards the line they held up no it's another it's another
41:28the big men go to work
41:35the reserve front rowers combine and it is tossy who gets the try
41:43they just nowhere to straighten the attack up the all blacks they've gone wide a fair bit of this
41:48test match and then the replacements have come on armua big carry and then tossy just
41:54too hard too strong yeah right on the line and another try for the all blacks
41:59just time off
42:05yeah what we're reviewing mate yeah brace it people check okay time off
42:13i'll find out that last phase back yeah
42:19quick look at see if there's a knock on a couple of phases prior to
42:22the try being scored by the tmo wants to have a look
42:26yeah i agree mate the one before yeah
42:43sure that again mate so now it's clearly knocked on
42:55it needs to be clearly knocked on
43:02why are we stopping
43:12is this clear and obvious knock forward from the hand
43:16there we go you're one you're placing it back okay yeah so it's off the left hand on the ball
43:20yeah
43:21okay i have a decision yeah it's the it's the player on the ground
43:31okay it's gonna be a no try it's lost forward
43:43so the great graham henry selector now with the all blacks invited in by dave rennie
43:49he might not have known what he wished for he said he came in and he had a lot of
43:51ideas and he
43:52knew what every player had been doing thanks if you love the game you never stop loving it tim do
43:57you
43:58see you go mike well the all blacks their last three test matches against
44:03the almighty springbox lost the last three
44:07okay let's go wouldn't have thought they were going to lose four in a row the all blacks haven't
44:11done that for a long time only three times in the history the all blacks have ever lost four
44:15on the bounce shoulder out shoulder out
44:21the great moment for dave rennie course coach the wallabies and now coach of the all blacks
44:31tammy derman taps he goes quick
44:3495 to go mcdermott spins upwards of 22
44:38champion correctly meredith looping around the back here of henry and say
44:44fresh looking wallabies back line not a whole lot of cohesion with the men out the middle right now
44:53and then he keeps out early on
44:57blunted
44:58the wallabies attack there's no doubt about that
45:02opportunity for some of the men out there to
45:05try and impress coach les kissy gonna have to go to work in defense though as
45:09clear access fine touch five from the line they've got the line out sorry yeah clear access you just
45:14focus on that please so good for quinter pyre
45:18timing now wallabies timing
45:23three for five two and two good access
45:27four now more at the back hands up 16
45:33he's all muscle he peels away keeps it alive and on the edge is morbid
45:42who this time around with absolute certainty keeps the bledders low cut in new zealand
45:53well you can see how many numbers the wallabies have to put into this rolling mall
45:56they're virtually all in there
46:01off the back of that cole preston just bounces out
46:06and so powerful armua
46:10what a finish josh morby just too easy for the winger set up by the players inside him
46:29and
46:30mackenzie sprays it first
46:34this is the 19
46:37the ability for this new zealand team to withstand pressure early on in this half
46:42and then apply it to the wallabies has been outstanding rewarded there by going to line
46:47setting up the driving wall fans here are happy bounce back to life in this second half
46:58that's four there by seeing that mcdermott dummies mcdermott
47:02mcdermott tackles into toss he was denied the try before morby was given it
47:13he's not sure a way to move right away
47:22he's right advantage offside
47:23certainly so now it's the wallabies who have a penalty advantage
47:28no it's on that call 22 offside
47:33jumped early is 22.
47:35two five to go for this wallaby team
47:38six you're legal dave runny has done a wonderful job with his game plan
47:45new zealand coach there's less kiss

48:30nasa's patient at the back is good leg drive now and nasa gets a try
48:38good work for the wallabies josh nasa straight through the middle
48:43the ball slowed a little bit the referee andrew brace said
48:48it's slowing you've got to probably use it it's third try for josh nasa scored one
48:54up in townsville a few weeks ago
48:58persistent through the middle nice play from aiden ross to go through and the wallabies
49:04with their first points of the second half
49:0817 14 at half time
49:17meredith it's too much right to left on that one it misses the target so it stays 43 19
49:25yeah it's good wall build there those men on screen building up front and staying in the fight
49:32staying low some added weight there from the wallaby backs coming in to get that dry over the line
49:48right right infielder champion to krepny
49:56meredith short is up there for dilutes mcdermott over to henry
50:08mcdermott
50:11so nasa who fights back on the floor to leave it there for the reserve scrum off mcdermott
50:16wilson short at the line though it's her champion to krepny who powers forward that's a nice little
50:22carry australia happy just to keep working away with goal in hand
50:27down by
50:3024. it was 17 14 at half time wilson picks and goes and spins out of the contact zone back
50:39to potter potter straightens up into segner knocks down almir as well that was a strong charge from
50:47harry potter jorgensen trying to free up that right arm mcdermott goes away close to the rut and we are
50:56going back for the injured anton segner
51:05and it's friendly fire unfortunately it looks like claret coming from his forehead
51:13hey hey hopefully he's okay
51:17no no no i've spoke to you in the first half okay if you want to come back on the
51:21field okay i suggest
