Australian rugby coach, Ewen McKenzie has announced his shocking resignation directly after the Wallabies 29-28 loss to the All Blacks last night.
The All Blacks scored a last‑minute converted try to give the world champions a dramatic victory in the final Bledisloe Cup test at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.
McKenzie, who took over from Robbie Deans in July last year, had come under pressure for his role in the row over offensive text messages Kurtley Beale allegedly sent to a team official in June.
The defeat to the All Blacks was a third straight loss for the Wallabies after defeats in South Africa and Argentina over the last month and left McKenzie with a 50 percent winning record in his 22 matches in charge.
In the game last night, Malakai Fekitoa scored a try with time all but up, before Colin Slade kicked the must‑get conversion to nail the stunning win.
The All Blacks trailed by 10 points at one stage in the second spell, before an Aaron Smith try closed the gap to three before Nic White put the Wallabies up by six points with four minutes to go.
Cory Jane and Dane Coles scored first half tries for the All Blacks, while Nick Phipps, Bernard Foley and centurion Adam Ashley‑Cooper scored tries for the hosts.
