The Bledisloe cup is the most prestigious trophy within rugby union. The winner of the annual series between Australia and New Zealand is eligible to receive the Bledisloe Cup. It is a popular competition among the two sides, and a vital part of all Blacks' playing schedule.
Since 2002, the Bledisloe cup has been won by no Australian team. But, the All Blacks travel to Melbourne on Thursday and have a chance at winning it again. If the Wallabies lose, there is a chance they will not be in the running for the Rugby Championship. The Bledisloe Cup will continue to be in New Zealand until next year.
In 2020, Australia and New Zealand will face off in two matches. The first match will be played in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday. The second match will take part in Auckland seven days later. The Bledisloe cup will be awarded to the winning team if they win both of the games. However, the Wallabies can also be beaten if they lose the final match in Eden Park on September 24.
The All Blacks and Wallabies have been playing twice per year since 2006 when the Tri-Nations tournament was introduced. The series is abbreviated to three to four matches in World Cup years.
Bledisloe cup has been traditionally played in Australia. The Bledisloe Cup has been contested over the last three seasons in Japan, Hong Kong, and Yokohama. Despite winning the majority of these contests the All Blacks have lost four matches to Wallabies in the last five.
The Bledisloecup has been won by Wallabies four consecutive times. They won the competition back in 1949.
The Bledisloe cup has been won by New Zealand 19 times. Since 1982, they have won the tournament an average of three times per year. Their overall record is unsurpassed by any other nation in the tournament. The All Blacks won 11 of the 13 meetings during that time. These wins include a series sweep in 2018.
The Bledisloe Cup was televised by Network Ten between 1992 and 1995. The World Cup 2008 made the tournament unplayable. In its place, the competition was reconstructed into a series of two matches. For the next four years, the games were played in the middle of the Rugby Championship.
Both the All Blacks & Wallabies realize that they have a tough fight against each other. The Wallabies will need a win in the final Eden Park game. It's been over a decade since they won at Eden Park. Wallabies would be devastated if they lose on September 24. They must win the match on September 15, having not won in the nine previous months, if they are to be considered for the title.
The All Blacks have a lot of confidence, despite their recent struggles. Their victory over Argentina earlier this month gave them a boost and they should be ready for the test in Melbourne.

How To
How do I begin snowboarding for beginners?
This section will discuss how to start snowboarding. This section will cover everything, from which equipment to buy to where to go and how to learn.
Let's begin with the basics.
"Snowboard" - A board attached to your feet used for riding down hills while skiing. It has usually two edges, one at the front and one at the back. These are what make up the board's form. To help control speed, the front edge is usually wider than its back.
Skier - A person who uses a ski/snowboard to ride down hills. Skiers have boots called "boots," trousers called "pants," helmets called "helmets" and helmets called “helmets.” Their heads are protected by helmets when they fall.
"Skiing" - Riding down hills on skis. You can do this on either natural terrains like mountains, or man-made terrains such as ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment such as skis and poles, bindings or boots, gloves, goggles, sunglasses and socks.
"Riding down Hills" - You must learn how you can stop yourself falling before you can ride downhill. To do this, push your legs against the ground while simultaneously pulling your back leg up. Next, kick your front leg forward. Continue doing this until you achieve the desired speed. You will need to pull your legs forward and kick them further faster you travel. Once you reach your speed goal, you can relax and let your legs connect. Repeat the process if you need to slow it down.
Once you know how to stop yourself from crashing into the ground, you must find out how fast you want to go. There are many ways to measure speed. Some prefer to count the number of laps that you make around the mountain. Others prefer to see the distance traveled from one turn to the next. If you are looking to improve your control of your speed, consider measuring it by either timing yourself or counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you have mastered slowing down and speeding up, it's time to figure out how to turn. To turn, just lean forward towards the side you want. You will fall to the ground if you lean too much. Don't lean too far and you won’t be able move. You can learn tricks once you are able to turn properly. Tricks are fancy moves you perform on the slopes. They require timing and balance. These include flips, spins and cartwheels.
There are many different types of tricks. You can do tricks like jumping over obstacles or flipping obstacles. There are also tricks that require you to spin over obstacles. Each trick is different. To jump over a thing, you might need to spin 180° midair, before landing on the other end.
There are many types of tricks. For example, some tricks require precision and accuracy, tricks that require strength, tricks that require agility, and tricks that require finesse.
Tricks can be hard to master. It's not easy to master tricks, but once you do, you can use them any time, anywhere. Although skiing is often considered an adult sport, children love the slopes. It's fun watching kids skate down hills, flip over obstacles, and even perform some pretty impressive tricks.
