Referee under scrutiny as yellow card cruels Wallabies

Lachlan Harper

The All Blacks' unbeaten streak at Eden Park has extended to 52 matches after a 33-24 win over the Wallabies in the first Bledisloe Test.

New Zealand's win means the Bledisloe Cup has been retained, having not lost it since 2003.

With seven minutes remaining and the All Blacks leading 26-24, the Wallabies looked like they were a chance. However, winger Harry Potter was yellow carded for his work in the ruck as the All Blacks attacked.

Cam Roigard scored two tries on his return from injury as the All Blacks held off a Wallabies fightback to prevail 33-24 in a hard fought Rugby Championship Test and maintain their grip on the Bledisloe Cup for another year.

Tries from Caleb Clarke, Leroy Carter and scrumhalf Roigard gave New Zealand an early 17 point lead, but Australia, who last held the Bledisloe Cup in 2003, were within two points of the lead when flanker Carlo Tizzano crossed 11 minutes from time.

Wallabies winger Harry Potter was shown a yellow card in the 73rd minute, however, and the All Blacks made the most of the extra man to send Roigard in for his second try and extend their unbeaten run at Auckland's Eden Park to 52 Tests over 31 years.

The victory also sent New Zealand to the top of the Rugby Championship standings ahead of Argentina's clash with South Africa in the penultimate round of the competition.
