Wallabies humiliated as ruthless All Blacks claim 13th straight Bledisloe Test victory

New Zealand’s All Blacks delivered a dominant performance in Sydney, defeating Australia’s Wallabies 43-21 at their final home Test of the year. The rout, marking the 13th consecutive Bledisloe Cup victory for the All Blacks, underscored the hosts’ struggles as they prepare for next year’s Rugby World Cup.

Australia’s defense faltered repeatedly, with New Zealand’s speed and precision at the breakdowns stifling the Wallabies’ attacking efforts. Only three of Australia’s attempts managed to break through, while the All Blacks’ relentless ball control exposed defensive vulnerabilities.

The back-to-back losses raise serious questions about Les Kiss’s side ahead of their World Cup campaign, where they’ll need to address both execution and tactical discipline to compete at the highest level.
