Leroy Carter, Quinn Tupaea (two), George Bower score tries as New Zealand post vital victory over Australia in Perth; win temporarily moves All Blacks top of the Rugby Championship table; South Africa will claim title if they beat Argentina at Twickenham later on Saturday
Last Updated: 04/10/25 1:39pm
Highlights of the Rugby Championship match between Australia and New Zealand at Optus Stadium in Perth.
Quinn Tupaea scored a brace of tries as New Zealand fended off Australia 28-14 in the Perth wet on Saturday to give themselves a chance of Rugby Championship glory.
The win put the All Blacks top of the table ahead of defending champions South Africa, but the Springboks can claim back-to-back titles with victory over Argentina in Twickenham later on Saturday.
Having replaced the dropped Billy Proctor in the No 13 jersey, Tupaea rewarded coach Scott Robertson’s faith with two well-taken tries to put the All Blacks up 17-9 at half-time.
Leroy Carter also crossed for New Zealand early in the opening half, with teammate George Bower coming off the bench to secure a bonus point by barging over for a fourth try seconds after the final hooter.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the win, All Blacks captain Scott Barrett said it was a “pleasing result” after a difficult campaign.
“We’ve got a few scars through this Rugby Championship. There are some great lessons for this team to take forward in what it means to put on the back jersey and front every week.
“Probably haven’t done that for this Rugby Championship and the ball is in South Africa’s court up north.
“As always we just want to make our country proud.”
Australia wing Max Jorgensen said after: “A lot of silly errors that we need to get out of our game.”
“That’s what Test footy is, it’s the best of the best, so you can’t be making those mistakes. If you want to be the best team in the world you’ve got to be at your best at every aspect of the game.”
Australia skipper Harry Wilson added: “We’re not out to be competitive, we’re here to win.
“Test footy, it’s fine margins and obviously we missed out. We’ve definitely progressed this Rugby Championship but ultimately we didn’t get the results in the last few games which we wanted, which is really disappointing.”

Data-backed NFL Bets: A top-down approach to beating the market in Week 5
Many NFL bettors start by looking at individual markets — like spreads, totals, teasers or props — and ask, “Which spread looks good?” or “What totals stand out this week?” This is a bottom-up approach, where you focus on specific bets first. In this space, we’ll take a different approach. We’ll focus on one game each week and use a top-down strategy to break it down. This means starting with the bigger picture — how teams, players or trends are performing — and then finding the best ways to apply that information to different betting markets. While some of our bets may focus on traditional markets, like spreads or totals, we’ll often explore other opportunities to maximize value. Denver Broncos -6.5 (-400 on FanDuel) Let’s begin, as always, with team fundamentals to establish the context for our analysis and identify […]

Světová trojka se obula do organizátorů: Chtějí, aby se dařilo Sinnerovi s Alcarazem
„Nesnáším, když je to všude stejné,“ prohlásil Zverev po vítězství nad Francouzem Valentinem Royerem 6:4, 6:4. „Pořadatelé chtějí, aby se Jannikovi a Carlosovi dařilo na každém turnaji, a proto zpomalují povrchy. Dřív jsme měli turnaje, které vám seděly, a jiné, které ne. Teď se dá hrát téměř stejným stylem na trávě, betonu i antuce,“ poznamenal ještě na kurtu.Německý tenista, který je na okruhu už dvanáct let, si postěžoval, že z tenisu mizí různost herních stylů. „Tenis potřebuje větší variabilitu, různé typy hráčů i povrchů. To všechno teď chybí,“ dodal.Jeho slova přitáhla velkou pozornost i kvůli tomu, že Zverev zatím na svůj první grandslamový titul čeká, zatímco Sinner a Alcaraz si rozdělili posledních osm. Právě oni podle Němce nejvíce těží z jednotnosti povrchů, které dříve vyžadovaly odlišný způsob hry.Na slova Zvereva reagoval i italský fenomén Jannik Sinner, kterého se kritika přímo týkala. „Já ani Carlos kurty neděláme. Snažíme se jen přizpůsobit […]
