The 2023 Bledisloe Cup series between the Wallabies and All Blacks has been run and won, with the All Blacks once again retaining the trophy.

ALL WALLABIES FIXTURES

The Bledisloe is part of the Rugby Championship, with the first game is locked in for a match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the first time since 2007.

The first game was on Saturday July 29, with the return leg a week later in Dunedin.

The All Blacks secured the trophy with a massively controversial 39-37 win over an undisciplined Wallabies in Melbourne.

Australia held firm to go into half time with a 10-10 scoreline, but three tries within 15 minutes of the second half against a Wallabies outfit almost permanently a player down due to a spate of yellow cards gave the All Blacks the edge.

However, the Wallabies would fight back to take the lead in the final minutes, before a controversial decision to award the All Blacks a scrum due to time-wasting from Bernard Foley allowed the visitors to score the winning try.

The All Blacks then headed to their Eden Park fortress to thump the Aussies, and ensure a second consecutive series clean sweep.
