Wallabies Aim to Break Decade-Long Drought Against All Blacks
27 Sep, 2025
Summary
- All four teams in 2025 Rugby Championship have identical 2-2 records
- Wallabies have shown resurgence after recent struggles, beating world champions
- All Blacks have dominated Australia in their last 9 matches, last losing in 2001

As the 2025 Rugby Championship enters its final stretch, the four competing teams find themselves in an unusual position - they all have identical 2-2 records heading into the last couple of games. This sets the stage for a thrilling conclusion, with the Wallabies and the All Blacks set to clash this Saturday in a match that could determine the eventual champion.
The Wallabies, led by coach Joe Schmidt, have been the surprise package of the tournament so far. After years of struggle, including two wooden spoons in recent seasons, the Australian side has shown a newfound positivity and determination that suggests a brighter future may be on the horizon. Their opening win over world champions South Africa was a particularly impressive result, and they were unlucky to fall just short of a heroic comeback against Argentina in their previous outing.
However, the Wallabies' biggest challenge lies ahead as they take on the mighty All Blacks, who have dominated their trans-Tasman rivals for the better part of a decade. The New Zealanders have won their last 9 matches against Australia, with the Wallabies' last victory on New Zealand soil coming all the way back in 2001. The likes of the Barrett brothers, Ardie Savea, and Will Jordan have shown some vulnerabilities in recent weeks, but they remain a formidable force.
Can the Wallabies finally break their horrible losing streak against the All Blacks and keep their championship hopes alive? Or will the New Zealanders reassert their dominance and take a big step towards the title? Fans around the world will be tuning in to find out.
