An explosive try by Paisami ignited hopes of a comeback, bringing the score to 21-31.
As the clock wound down, Australia unleashed everything they had left. With New Zealand down to just 13 men due to two yellow cards, the Wallabies pushed hard. In a tense final few minutes, Tom Wright scored a stunning try that brought the crowd to its feet. The conversion by Lolesio brought them within three points, making it a nail-biting finish.
Despite their valiant effort and a thrilling resurgence in the last stages, the Wallabies fell short.

Post-match, Wright reflected on the team’s inconsistencies, acknowledging that they had gifted too many opportunities to the All Blacks, who are always ready to exploit any mistakes.
