Australia and New Zealand faced off in this year's Bledisloe Cup with the All Blacks once again retaining the trophy. 

The All Blacks completed a clean sweep against the Wallabies during The Rugby Championship, beating them away from home before they defended their unbeaten record across the ditch in the second and final Test.  

Scott Robertson's side held on for a narrow victory in Sydney during the opener, before cruising to a 33-13 win a week later.

When was the last time the Wallabies beat the All Blacks?

The Wallabies last managed to beat the All Blacks in 2020 during that year's Tri Nations series.

Australia came into the game off the back of their heaviest defeat against the All Blacks, losing 43-5 in Sydney, but they rebounded in a big way in Brisbane.

A Taniela Tupou try in the 74th minute and four penalty goals from Reece Hodge ultimately proved the difference, as the Wallabies held off a late charge from the All Blacks to win 24-22 at Lang Park in Brisbane.

It didn't count for much more as a consolation, as New Zealand had already secured the Bledisloe for another year, and the Wallabies still finished bottom of the table on points differential.

Wallabies all-time record vs All Blacks

  • Wallabies wins: 45
  • All Blacks wins: 179
  • Draws: 8
  • Wallabies wins in Australia: 28
  • All Blacks wins in Australia: 56
  • Wallabies wins in New Zealand: 15
  • All Blacks wins in New Zealand: 66

The All Blacks record over the Wallabies is imperious to say the least, having won 70% of matches between the two since the first meeting back in 1903.

This includes 10 wins in a row between 2008-2010, as well as the last seven between the countries since Australia's narrow win in 2020.

The All Blacks also haven't lost in New Zealand since 2001, where Australia pulled off a 23-15 win at the old Carisbrook in Dunedin.

The sides have met four times in the World Cup, with both sides winning twice (though the All Blacks did defeat the Wallabies 34-17 in the 2015 final.)
