Wallabies fall narrowly short of All Blacks amid brave Bledisloe Cup comeback
Briefly

"Despite the narrow loss, the scoreline flattered the Wallabies with the All Blacks botching at least five tries, highlighting Australia’s defensive collapse throughout the match."
"Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt had implored his men to stay connected and go after the All Blacks. But both credos crumbled early as his side unravelled with dire mistakes."
"Australia had fumbled a kick-off and dropped a bomb in a shemozzle opening that quickly sapped the confidence of Wallabies fans, showing their struggle right from the start."
"At 14-0 after nine minutes, New Zealand were heading for a hundred by full-time. The All Blacks displayed dominance early on, pushing Australia on the back foot."
