All Blacks' Auckland mini match draws attention to the high ball

The Bledisloe Cup recap has an unusually large audience, while the post-match press conference is also drawing viewers.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 264,214 views a day, 21 times a normal first day on this channel (12,542).

The cup stays put. After New Zealand's Bledisloe win at Eden Park, the All Blacks' official channel is giving supporters both the condensed action and the team's reflections afterward.

"MINI MATCH | All Blacks v Australia | Auckland, 2026 (Bledisloe Cup)" has reached roughly 240,000 views before its first full day is over, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience. The accompanying press conference is also making an unusually strong start, though the match recap has drawn the larger crowd.

Eden Park adds a particular weight to this fixture. The video's description points out that Australia has not won at the ground since 1986. This was the opening Bledisloe Test of 2026, with the Wallabies arriving in Auckland hoping to reclaim the trophy.

Beneath the mini match, viewers are picking apart the aerial game. Some single out Cam Roigard's box kicks and the players chasing them; others discuss New Zealand's handling of the high ball. Damian McKenzie and Australia's Tom Wright also get attention from a Welsh viewer watching as a neutral. The comment section is already more than a dozen times busier than a typical first day.

The channel has paired the Auckland coverage with an older Australian encounter, too: "Pass after Pass after Pass" revisits Doug Howlett scoring his second try against the Wallabies in 2005.

What viewers say

  • Man, damien mc kenzie just seems to keep getting better & better. As a neutral (welsh) he's just a joy to watch. I'm a big fan of tom wright too. He's quality. Impressive stuff from the AB's though, fair play.

  • Cam Roigard putting up those 50/50 box kicks is just as good as the chasers. All Blacks winning the aerial game was key.
