New Zealand actually fought back to level the game 20-all in the 59th minute, courtesy of tries to the midfield pairing of Ma’a Nonu and Conrad Smith. 2007 was a World Cup year, which meant that one eye was always going to be looking ahead to the flagship tournament in France at the end of the season. He is an acclaimed coach with a proven record and — as a Kiwi appointed by the previous administration — will be the perfect scapegoat if things go pear-shaped again. In that context, Rennie’s comments would seem rather churlish. Auckland's average house price in September was $290,000 ($373,271 with today's inflation) and would increase to more than $1 million by 2017, although the average sales price has since dropped and was reported at $930,233 for May, 2018. James O’Connor scores after the buzzer to level the scores in the Hong Kong Bledisloe Cup match in 2010. This brought out the smug and dictatorial streak in New Zealand Rugby, whose resistance to Australia's COVID-related scheduling requirements has been both abrupt and high-handed.

Close. The Wallabies would end their Bledisloe nightmare with a victory on Saturday at Eden Park, a venue where the All Blacks have not lost a test since 1994, but what was the world like when Australia lifted the cup in 2002? Still, there was plenty of motivation for the Wallabies; the All Blacks had won the last three Bledisloe matches on the trot. It was all Australia from that point on, however, with replacement halfback Nic White managing a penalty, a try and a conversion in the final 12 minutes to hand the Wallabies the win. During a desultory period for the Wallabies, softened only by the occasional highlight such as the unexpected ride to the 2015 World Cup final, you could feel the wider public interest and passion for a once-beloved national team drain away.

The Wallabies found a second gear just moments later, however, with Kurtley Beale dashing through the NZ defence to give the Wallabies the 25-20 lead. — is the turning point for Australian sport's great underachiever. Crusaders coach Scott Robertson was part of their title-winning side in 2002. Auckland's average house price was $290,000 when the Wallabies beat the All Blacks to retain the Bledisloe Cup on August 3, 2002. The last five derbies had all fallen New Zealand’s way, with the closest game between the teams being a 13-9 win to the All Blacks a year earlier in Brisbane. Offsiders will review all the big sports stories and issues on Sunday at 10:00am on ABC TV. You can understand Rennie not wanting to play under those conditions. The Wallabies managed to hold onto the Bledisloe Cup for five years in a row between 1998 and 2002.

The Crusaders in 2002 won their fourth title in five years after beating the Brumbies 31-13 in the final in Christchurch. Former All Whites skipper Ryan Nelsen scored the winner the last time New Zealand beat the Socceroos, in 2002. Between 2008 and 2010, the fourth Bledisloe Cup match was taken to Asia. New Zealand went into the match knowing they already had the Bledisloe Cup wrapped up after trumping Australia twice in the Rugby Championship – but there was still no expectation that they would take the Wallabies lightly. Australia's relative lack of success makes this is an even more laudable achievement given maintaining your place in the Wallabies line-up for so long must have seemed — at times — like being the last person waiting to be rescued from a burning building.
