All Blacks Defeat Australia 28-14 to Maintain Rugby Championship Title Hopes

News summary

New Zealand's All Blacks defeated Australia 28-14 in a rain-soaked match in Perth, keeping their hopes alive for the Rugby Championship title and extending their unbeaten streak against Australia to 11 games. Quinn Tupaea was pivotal, scoring two tries shortly before halftime, while Leroy Carter and George Bower also contributed tries, the latter securing a bonus point with a late score. Despite the loss, Australia managed only one try by Len Ikitau and struggled with decision-making and line-out execution. This victory places New Zealand at the top of the Rugby Championship table, but South Africa can still clinch back-to-back titles if they beat Argentina later in the tournament at Twickenham. South Africa's strong performance in their previous match against Argentina and their superior points difference give them the advantage in the title race. The match also marked the final test for Australian prop James Slipper, although Australia was unable to win his swansong game.
