11m agoSat 25 Oct 2025 at 7:45amFT: WALLABIES WIN!!!!WALLABIES WIN 19-15!!!
What a tight finish!
The Walllabies were awarded a penalty in the shadows of full-time and were able to hold onto possession through a series of phases until the hooter sounded.
The Brave Blossoms put up an almighty fight, especially in the second half.
The result is vindication for Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt’s decision to field an understrength line-up.
Schmidt made the decision with the remaining four Tests of the tour in mind.
But credit to Eddie Jones’s Brave Blossoms, who came close to recording their first win over the Wallabies.
The wet conditions didn’t help either side, and the Wallabies were able to look to their wiser heads late in the match to seal the result.
