All Blacks v Wallabies: 21 years have passed since Australia last held the Bledisloe Cup, but that’s little more than a footnote as they face New Zealand in the final round of the 2023 Rugby Championship. Of more pressing concern to the Wallabies is the all-too-realistic prospect of heading into the World Cup off the back of five successive defeats.
There initially wasn’t too much shame in getting mauled by South Africa in the first game of Eddie Jones’ second spell in charge, but that display hasn’t aged well at all with the subsequent humiliation at the hands of Argentina. And with two clashes with the All Blacks and one with France to come before Australia’s World Cup opener, fans are growing increasingly agitated.
The absence of Len Ikitau, who suffered a fractured scapula as he crossed the whitewash two weeks ago, won’t help matters, though Michael Hooper could return after a calf injury.
Conversely, New Zealand have TRC glory in their sights, with their 35–20 dismantling of the Proteas being hailed as one of the team’s best ever performances under Ian Foster. Shannon Frizell understandably took most of the plaudits after his Jonah Lomu-esque try, but Beauden Barrett, Will Jordan and Richie Mo’unga were just as instrumental as the All Blacks went kick-heavy against the kicking masters.
