Story summary

The Wallabies traveled to Auckland's Eden Park on October 7, aiming to break a 40-year losing streak against the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Cup First Test. Despite initial dominance and scoring an early try by fullback Tom Wright, Australia struggled with high ball tactics employed by New Zealand. The match ended with a significant victory for the All Blacks, who scored seven tries compared to Australia's three, securing their 23rd consecutive win in the Bledisloe Cup series. This result extends New Zealand’s unbeaten streak at Eden Park since 1994 to 54 Tests and halts Australia’s six-game winning run under head coach Les Kiss. The final score was 50-19, with Damian McKenzie contributing 15 points for the All Blacks.
