The Bledisloe Trophy is the most highly regarded trophy in rugby union. It is awarded annually to the winner in the annual two-team series between Australia & New Zealand. It is a very popular competition between both sides and an important part of the All Blacks annual playing calendar.
Since 2002 the Bledisloe has been lost to Australia. However, they still have a chance to win the Bledisloe cup this year. The All Blacks are coming to Melbourne on Wednesday. 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 will meet in two matches in 2020. The first match will be played in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday. The second match will take part in Auckland seven days later. Bledisloe cups will be awarded to any team that wins both the first and second games. If they lose the final match at Eden Park, September 24, the Wallabies may still be beaten.
Since 2006, Wallabies has played twice a season since the introduction of Tri-Nations. However, in years when the World Cup is held, the series is abbreviated to three or four matches.
The Bledisloe Cup has traditionally been played in Australia. It has been contested in Japan (Hong Kong), Yokohama (Yokohama) over the past three year. Despite winning the majority of these contests the All Blacks have lost four matches to Wallabies in the last five.
The Bledisloecup has been won by Wallabies four consecutive times. They won the competition back in 1949.
New Zealand has won this tournament 19 times. They have won the tournament every year on average since 1982. Their overall record is better than any other nation participating in the tournament. The All Blacks won 11 matches during this period. Those victories included a series clean sweep 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 games were played during the Rugby Championship for the next four years.
Both the All Blacks as well as the Wallabies are aware that they will be up against a formidable opponent. The Wallabies are desperate for a win at Eden Park in their final game. They haven't won there in more than a decade. A loss on September 24 would be disastrous for the Wallabies. The Wallabies have not won a match over the past nine months and must win on September 15 to have any chance of winning the title.
The All Blacks, despite recent difficulties, are full of confidence. They should feel ready to face the Melbourne test after their win over Argentina earlier in the month.
