All Blacks Sweep Wallabies In Bledisloe Cup, Rugby Championship
All Blacks Sweep Wallabies In Bledisloe Cup, Rugby Championship
New Zealand Rugby capped The Rugby Championship with a win against the Wallabies in Perth, Australia.

The All Blacks extended their dominance over Australia to 11 straight wins with a gritty 28-14 victory Saturday at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, capping the 2025 Rugby Championship in wet conditions.
New Zealand built its edge through relentless defense and key scoring bursts in the first half.
Leroy Carter opened the try tally in the eighth minute, before Quinn Tupaea delivered back-to-back tries in a four-minute stretch late in the half, giving the All Blacks a 17-9 lead at the break.
Damian McKenzie, steady in the rain, added two second-half penalty kicks to maintain the margin.

The Wallabies had their moment when Len Ikitau crossed the line in the 65th minute, trimming the deficit to six. But Australia’s attack stalled in the closing stages, undone by handling errors and New Zealand’s composure under pressure.
Veteran James Slipper, playing his 151st, and final, test, left to an ovation in the second half. Despite his farewell, Australia could not script a storybook ending.
The All Blacks controlled territory, won key scrums and completed 87% of their tackles to secure a hard-fought win in the rain.
South Africa and Argentina will play the final match of The Rugby Championship, with South Africa likely to clinch its first back-to-back Rugby Championship titles.
