Wrapping up
By
That's all for today's blog. Thanks for tuning in.
Rugby has copped its fair share of stick in this country in the last decade but that thriller - with no NRL or AFL to compete with today - showcased what the 15 man game can be at its very best.
Before signing off, a quick summary of the Wallabies' performance.
They were the better team this afternoon. Reece Hodge was desperately unlucky not to win the game for the Wallabies with a 55 metre shot at goal after the final siren.
The signs were very promising in Dave Rennie's first game in charge. The debutants - Harry Wilson, Filipo Daugunu and Hunter Paisami - were all superb.
Nic White was brilliant at halfback. Taniela Tupou was enormous in his 51 minute stint. Michael Hooper never stopped working.
The set piece needs work but one final positive to finish - the battle for the Bledisloe is now a best of three, rather than four.
See you all this time next week.

It's a draw
By
After almost 89 minutes of tense Test rugby, James O'Connor finally kicked the ball out.
It's a draw. A 16-all draw.
Reece Hodge was millimetres away from giving the Wallabies a stunning 1-0 series lead but he hit the post and the next eight minutes was absolute madness.
What a game.
