The Bledisloecup is the most prized trophy in rugby league. The winner of the annual series between Australia and New Zealand is eligible to receive the Bledisloe Cup. It is a favorite competition between the two teams and a key part of All Blacks' playing calendar.
Since 2002, the Bledisloe cup has been won by no Australian team. The All Blacks will be travelling to Melbourne this Thursday, and they are in with a chance of winning the Bledisloe Cup again. The Wallabies could lose and be eliminated from the race for a spot in the Rugby Championship. This will mean that the Bledisloe Cup remains in New Zealand hands for another year.
Australia and New Zealand are set to play in two matches in 2020. The first match will be held in Melbourne on Thursday, while the second will be in Auckland one week later. Bledisloe will be awarded if either team wins both games. However, the Wallabies can also be beaten if they lose the final match in Eden Park on September 24.
The All Blacks and Wallabies have been playing twice per year since 2006 when the Tri-Nations tournament was introduced. However, the World Cup series is usually reduced to three to four matches each year.
Bledisloe cups have been traditionally played in Australia. In the last three years, it has been contested in Japan, Hong Kong and Yokohama. Despite winning the majority of these contests the All Blacks have lost four matches to Wallabies in the last five.
The Wallabies have won the Bledisloe Cup four times and they have won the tournament on New Zealand soil. They have won the competition in 1949.
New Zealand has won the Bledisloe Cup a total of 19 times. Since 1982, New Zealand has won the tournament on an average of 3.5 points per year. Their overall record at the tournament is the most impressive of any nation. The All Blacks won 11 matches during this period. The series sweep was achieved in 2018.
Network Ten televised Bledisloe Cup between 1992 & 1995. The World Cup made it impossible to broadcast the 2008 tournament. Instead, Network Ten televised the two-match series. The four-year-old series was played in the middle section of the Rugby Championship.
Both the All Blacks, and Wallabies, know that it will be a difficult battle against each other. The Wallabies, who haven’t won in over 10 years, will be desperate for a win in this final game at Eden Park. Wallabies would be devastated if they lose on September 24. If they want to be in contention for the title, they must win on September 15.
Despite recent struggles, the All Blacks remain confident despite all that has happened. They should feel ready to face the Melbourne test after their win over Argentina earlier in the month.
