All Blacks Extend Record Win Streak Over Wallabies With 28-14 Rugby Championship Victory

The New Zealand All Blacks defeated the Australian Wallabies 28-14 in a wet Rugby Championship match at Optus Stadium, securing an 11th consecutive win over their rivals and a 2-0 series victory in the Bledisloe Cup. Quinn Tupaea was the standout player, scoring two first-half tries that helped establish a 17-9 halftime lead, while Leroy Carter and George Bower also contributed tries for the All Blacks. The Wallabies, despite early control and a try from Len Ikitau, were hindered by two yellow cards and the early loss of Will Skelton due to injury. The match marked the farewell for Wallabies prop James Slipper in his 151st and final Test, but the home side was unable to secure a winning send-off. New Zealand's win keeps their Rugby Championship title hopes alive as they moved temporarily to the top of the standings, awaiting the results of the South Africa-Argentina match. The All Blacks' tactical management in tough conditions overshadowed Australia's efforts, highlighting their dominance in the ongoing rivalry.
