Wallabies, All Blacks draw pulsating opening Bledisloe Cup Test

The Wallabies and All Blacks have played out a gripping 16-16 draw in the first Bledisloe Cup Test in Wellington.

With scores locked at 13-13, the Wallabies edged ahead on the scoreboard when James O'Connor coolly slotted a penalty goal inside the final 10 minutes of the second half.

But the All Blacks levelled in the shadows of full-time when Jordie Barrett replied with a penalty goal of his own.

Reece Hodge had a late chance to win the match for the Wallabies with a penalty goal attempt after the full-time siren but his shot hit the post.

More to come.
