Foster and Rennie not happy with the draw

The Wallabies' quest to break a 19-year drought against the All Blacks in New Zealand remains after the first Bledisloe Cup test ended in a 16-all draw at Wellington’s Sky Stadium.

This is just the eighth time the Wallabies and All Blacks have drawn.

It was 167th game between the two great rugby nations.


There was so much drama in an exciting 89 minutes of rugby.

All Blacks coach Ian Foster loved how his side continued to fight long after the hooter sounded.

Foster has also come out in defence of Rieko Ioane after the midfielder's basic handling error cost his side a certain try.

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie says they were not celebrating in the changing rooms after that draw.

Rennie was impressed with Fiji-born Filipo Daugunu.

The second Bledisloe Cup test is at Eden Park where the Wallabies have not won in 34 years with the last time in 1986.

Rennie says they will treat it as any test.

The All Blacks host the Wallabies in the second Bledisloe Cup test at 3pm this Sunday.
