Wallabies looking to rectify second half fade as confidence grows

Wallabies looking to rectify second half fade as confidence grows

After their second-half comeback, the Wallabies are hoping to fix their slow second half as they push to upset the All Blacks and send the Bledisloe Cup to a decider in Perth.

Whilst past teams have struggled under pressure - this new Wallabies outfit responded with three tries in the final ten minutes to bring the score to 33-25 as the siren sounded.

Hooker Jordan U-e-le-se, who crashed over for the final try of the game, believes it shows the quality the Wallabies possess across their squad and the value of their 'finishers'.

He believes it is reflective of the strong bond and unity Dave Rennie has built in the team.

New Zealand has won the Bledisloe Cup for the last 18 years and the Wallabies have not won at Eden Park since 1986.

The Wallabies and the All Blacks clash at 7.05pm Saturday.
