Green & Gold, Wednesday Update: Wallabies' Hopes Rise, Bledisloe Bled Again
It's Wednesday, and the world of rugby is buzzing! The Wallabies are on a high after their win over Argentina, while the Bledisloe Cup has gone back to New Zealand – with a twist! Let's break down all the action.
Wallabies Back on Track
It wasn't pretty, but it was a win! Australia's 23-19 victory over Argentina in their Rugby Championship clash on Saturday was a big sigh of relief. After a frustrating loss to the Springboks, this win showed that the Wallabies can still grind out a result when the going gets tough. The boys showed a real fighting spirit and kept their heads down even when the Pumas threw everything at them.
The real test is coming up though. Next week, the Wallabies face New Zealand in their first Bledisloe Cup clash of the season. It's a huge game, and the team needs to build on this momentum. The win against Argentina will boost their confidence going into the clash, but the All Blacks will be tough to beat.
Bledisloe Goes Down Under… Again
The Bledisloe Cup, it's ours! Not really, the Kiwis have it again, but the Aussies did put up a fight in the first game of the series in Dunedin.
The All Blacks came out strong and ultimately ran away with a 38-7 win. However, the Wallabies showed they are still a force to be reckoned with in the first half. They fought hard and made the All Blacks earn their win.
The real surprise was the performance of young Cadeyrn Neville. The youngster made his debut at hooker and impressed with his aggressive play. He's definitely one to watch for the future!
What's Next?
The next Bledisloe Cup match is this Saturday in Auckland. The Wallabies need to find a way to score points, and they need to maintain their intensity throughout the whole match. The pressure is on, but the team is confident they can turn things around.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Wallabies this weekend! It's going to be a cracker!
