Bledisloe Cup second test draws bumper crowd

From Morning Report, 7:34 am on 16 October 2020

The Bledisloe Cup burst into life with last week's draw in Wellington and Sunday's second test at Eden Park is set to be a blockbuster with the Wallabies full of confidence they can end a 34 year winless streak at the ground. The Australians and their new coach, New Zealander Dave Rennie, have well and truly ruffled the All Blacks feathers, with the hosts taking issue at some Wallabies tactics and vowing to meet fire with fire. The match will be played in front of a bumper crowd with fewer than 5000 of the nearly 48,000 tickets remaining as of last night. RNZ's rugby reporter Joe Porter had this report.
