New Zealand claimed the Bledisloe Cup for a 20th consecutive year after Jordie Barrett’s try following a contentious late refereeing decision gave the All Blacks victory over Australia on Thursday.
In a controversial finish at Docklands stadium, French referee Mathieu Raynal took the ball off Australia scrumhalf Nic White for time-wasting as he was poised to kick the ball clear from defence with Australia holding a three-point lead.
Gifted possession, the All Blacks spread the ball wide to Barrett who crossed at the left corner as a crowd of 53,245 at Docklands stadium gasped.
