All Blacks edge Wallabies in Bledisloe classic

New Zealand have retained the Bledisloe Cup for yet another year, but they were made to work all the way by the Wallabies in an incredible Test match in Dunedin.

Match Commentary

81'		35-29 End of second half
80'		What an awesome game of Test match rugby that was. The All Blacks' ability to execute when the game is on the line is what sets them apart, and they deserve to own the Bledisloe for another year. But this is a game the Wallabies can certainly build on as they prepare to face the Springboks and Pumas in a couple of weeks' time. Thanks for your company tonight and be sure to stay across ESPN for all the post-match wash-up.
