Wallabies halt the all blacks
Analysis of article from Sports Marketing and Management Perspective:


The Wallabies have held out the All Blacks to a 12 all draw ending the winning streak for the All Blacks. Daniel carter wasn't playing the game as he was injured, no Kevin Mealamu with 114 test caps under his belt. Israel Dagg wasn't chosen in the team either, the try scorer he is, was it a good move putting him on the bench?

Management of the game wasn't the best as I'm sure you could agree. Referee Jaco Peyper calls weren't always on point, which contributed to the 12 all draw. Jaco later apologised for some of the bad calls he made such as sin binning Wyatt Crocket late in the first half.

The draw won't have a huge impact on the All blacks when it comes to fans and selling tickets etc in future games as they have a huge following in New Zealand and other countries over the world. It won't affect the selling of All Blacks merchandise either as it always sells well.

Could this draw affect predictions of how the All Blacks are going to perform at the rugby world cup? All Blacks coaching staff are going to have to ensure that they can win their upcoming games to ensure they can bring the Bledisloe Cup back to New Zealand.

Overall this game wasn't a great one for the All Blacks and they will really need to improve their game before the 2015 rugby world cup. Leadership within the All Blacks team such as the coaches, management, captain and co-captain will have to step up and really get the team up to standard within the next few weeks.


These were a few marketing and management perspectives surrounding the All Blacks 12 all draw with the Wallabies.
