All Blacks have retained the Bledisloe Cup after a 39-37 win over the Wallabies at Marvel Stadium, Melbourne. 

The victory was their 20th in a row in the annual rugby union competition between the national teams of Australia and New Zealand. 

Al Blacks made a last-minute try after a controversial refereeing decision by French referee Mathieu Raynal.

The referee gave the team a scrum feed in the final minute after deciding that Bernard Foley (Wallabies) was guilty of time-wasting.  

In the scrum, Jordie Barrett put a try after the full-time siren to seal the win. 

Wallabies legend, Tim Horan, who spoke to stan sports after the match claimed that the referee's decision was disgraceful. 

“I reckon you could have another 15 referees, bit referee from World Rugby that would have taken that calmly and wouldn't have been awed by the experience. 

"There are 90 seconds left in the game and he cracked under pressure, in one of the biggest games here in Australia. 

Tim noted that the decision from the French official should be looked at by World Rugby.   

"We've been in big Test matches where referees are calm under pressure in the last couple of minutes. It was a terrible decision. 

"It was a terrible decision... Even if that was against the All Blacks I wouldn't agree with the decision,” the former Wallabies star stated.
