Bledisloe Cup rugby: All Blacks v Wallabies – teams, start time, live stream and how to watch

Everything you need to know before the All Blacks clash against the Wallabies in Bledisloe I

The All Blacks’ first Bledisloe Cup clash against the Wallabies in Wellington today will be the first time the New Zealand team will be on the field since the conclusion of the disappointing 2019 Rugby World Cup.

In fact, it’s two weeks to a year from that night in Yokohama where the All Blacks fell to England in the World Cup semi-final, and 400 days since they last played a test in New Zealand.

With everything that has happened since then, All Blacks hooker Codie Taylor said he was excited to put the loss behind him and use it as fuel against the Wallabies in the long-awaited comeback of test rugby.

“Being involved in that obviously hurts and you will never forget losing a World Cup playoff,” Taylor said.

“The best thing about this year is that we have a new group and there are many new players who were not part of that team and who can bring a lot of energy and help us get through.”

“We also have a completely new coaching staff, so there are a lot of excited people in the group and looking forward to Sunday. It’s been almost a year since we’ve played, so that’s what we’re using as fuel to get out.” there and put on a black sweater. “

All Blacks assistant coach John Plumtree, who was still on the Hurricanes during last year’s World Cup, believed there wouldn’t be much of a hangover from Japan and praised the dedication he has seen this week from his players.

“That’s long dead and buried. When the player gets his jersey on the weekend, he’ll be grateful for another chance and that’s the big part of the All Blacks and what leaders drive. We feel privileged and honored to be to have the opportunity and the players just love that jersey and this environment.

“That’s something that caught my eye, to see Sam Whitelock, who has played so many trials but still lives every moment of trial week and loves it.”
