The Wallaroos faced a heartbreaking loss against Wales, succumbing to a last-minute try that sealed a 31-24 defeat, marking their first loss to Wales in seven encounters. Despite a strong start and several chances to score, the team struggled with discipline and execution, leading to missed opportunities and costly mistakes. Coach Jo Yapp and captain Michaela Leonard acknowledged the need for the team to improve their 'rugby smarts' and maintain possession under pressure. In a parallel match, the Wallabies fell short in their Bledisloe Cup clash against the All Blacks, showcasing a similar trend of near success but ultimate disappointment for Australian rugby. Both teams will look to regroup as they prepare for upcoming matches, including the Wallabies' next game against the Wallaroos. The weekend's rugby highlights included a surprising win by Argentina over South Africa, adding to the mixed emotions surrounding Australian rugby performances.
