Wallabies ready to bounce back in Test II – Schmidt

Wallabies ready to bounce back in Test II – Schmidt

Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt says the team has moved on from their 33-24 disappointment in Auckland and is fully focused on tonight’s Bledisloe Cup Test against the All Blacks in Perth.

Schmidt says the squad has dusted themselves off from the disappointment in Auckland and they have worked away this week in preparation for what’s going to be another torrid Test match against New Zealand tomorrow.

He says the support has been fantastic this year, especially when playing in Australia, and they will be hoping to put in a performance that is worthy of that support in their final home Test of 2025.

The All Blacks are currently on a 10-game winning streak against the Wallabies, with their last loss coming five years ago at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

This is the third test played between the two sides in Perth, with one win each so far.

The Wallabies take on the All Blacks at 9.45 tonight.
