All Blacks Beat Wallabies 28-14; Title Hopes Remain

The All Blacks secured a 28-14 victory over Australia in Perth, extending their winning run over the Wallabies to 11 matches and completing a clean sweep of the Bledisloe Cup series. Quinn Tupaea’s two tries before halftime pulled New Zealand away, with Australia adding only a late try from Len Ikitau. The Test was a farewell for Wallabies veteran James Slipper in his 151st and final match, a moment noted for Slipper staring down the haka as he left the field. Despite the win, New Zealand still needs to win and rely on Argentina beating South Africa to overtake the Springboks and claim the Rugby Championship. The All Blacks earned high player ratings for tactical kicking, physicality and key moments of skill, while Australia were punished by costly errors and ill-discipline.
