The match was relatively close-fought early on, and the Wallabies seemed a chance to threaten for the win. But after they were denied what could’ve been a lead-taking try in controversial circumstances, they fell away.
The All Blacks eventually ran away with the match and a 27-point margin.

Yes the key words - Persecution Complex - the idea that ABs management can dictate the click bait on an Aussie owned newspaper (that is rapidly becoming a NZ version of the Telegraph) and somehow are linked to a cartoon drawn by an Aussie staffer... is just plain silly.

Wow what a bitter post match press conference. Cheika's becoming the Trump of the Rugby world with his persecution complex everything rigged against him. Really lacks class and respect which is why Hansen doesn't like him and keeps niggling him. Like Trump, his ill disciplined emotive outbursts actually stir a growing bad will between these teams and encourage others like Kearnsy and Kafer who should know better. His team played really well, he's building a strong physical forward pack that will only get better, they could even beat an overrated, uncreative England this year, if they play with that kind of commitment and physicality. AB's do most of the tackling but still finish all over them with superior fitness but get into AB faces on defence and they can be pressured into mistakes, especially when they play so quick hands freely. WB's have plenty more improvement in them IMO
