The Wallabies staged an improbable comeback against the All Blacks that fell just short in Sydney.
The Wallabies never make life easy on themselves, and three early tries left them with a mountain to climb.
They trailed 28-14 at half-time but produced a determined comeback that ended up with the All Blacks happily kicking the ball away at full-time after hanging on for a 31-28 victory. The Bledisloe Cup will stay in New Zealand for another year, but there is some hope after that second-half performance for the return fixture in Wellington.There is an unfair amount of expectation on this talented young loosehead’s shoulders given that he is gradually returning to international rugby after having his foot reshaped on the surgeon’s table. He went about his work without fuss, but his normal damaging carries were limited.
A constant danger when he came on with his sniping and snappy service. Lolesio also looks that bit more comfortable on the back of his passing. Is it time to give the Reds halfback a shot at starting?Added another dimension to the backline and showed enough to keep himself in contention for Wellington.
