The All Blacks beat the Wallabies 43-21 in Sydney on Saturday 17 October 2026, in the final Bledisloe Cup match of the series, according to AAP reporting carried by the Australian Financial Review.

The result followed a 50-19 win by New Zealand in Auckland the previous weekend, which had already secured the trophy for a 23rd straight year. AAP described Saturday’s result as a seven-try rout.

The match was played at Accor Stadium, with a 3.45 pm AEDT kick-off, as SBS News reported in its midday bulletin. SBS also reported that All Blacks centre Jordie Barrett was ruled out with a calf injury before the game.

The loss is a setback for Wallabies coach Les Kiss, who AAP said had won five and drawn one of his first six Tests in charge this year. New Zealand coach Dave Rennie, who was fired by Rugby Australia four years ago, led the All Blacks to the win.
