Wallabies coach reveals where his team went wrong against the All Blacks

Wallabies coach reveals where his team went wrong against the All Blacks

There was no mystery to where the Wallabies felt they lost the second Bledisloe test, with coach Dave Rennie blaming poor defence and sloppy ball retention as the key sources.

In Wellington, the Wallabies brought line speed, accuracy and strong individual tackling.

In Auckland, they didn't apply enough pressure, missed too many individual tackles and paid the price.

They also lost too much turnover ball and failed to look after their own possession with too many loose carries.

Rennie felt those aspects were the ones that cost his side the chance to make history.

The Wallabies have not won at Eden Park since 1986.

Rennie is confident that in two weeks the Wallabies will be a better side.

The third Bledisloe Cup test is in Brisbane at 8.45pm next Saturday.
