– The Bledisloe Cup is up for grabs again, with New Zealand leading the Australians 1-0 in the four-match series. The All Blacks won the first match 27-7 in Auckland, but Australia levelled things up with a 16-16 draw in Wellington. Now the Aussies need to win both of their remaining games to reclaim the trophy, Reuters reports. “The intensity will probably raise from Eden Park, as there is so much on the line,” said All Blacks hooker Dane Coles. “We took a bit of a punch on the nose in that first game, and they dictated a lot of the game around our physicality. We knew we needed to make a step up and come out with some good intent. We did that at times, but we still have a lot to improve in our game and get better at it.”
