Bledisloe Cup opens with a draw

From Morning Report, 7:31 am on 12 October 2020

The All Blacks have held the Bledisloe Cup since 2003 but this year's series has been blown wide open following last night's 16-all draw in the opening test in Wellington.

The Wallabies, under new coach New Zealander Dave Rennie, were rank outsiders to upset the hosts but that's almost what they did, as new All Black coach Ian Foster's reign began with a fizzle rather a roar.

Rugby reporter Joe Porter was at the game right til its dramatic finish.
