New Zealand looked sloppy at times today against Australia! Australia are low key building a good squad for the World Cup next year.

Totally different games ... rugby is kinda like football where you're trying to carry the ball over the goal line and touch it down, Aussie Rules is played on an oval pitch, you mostly move the ball by kicking, and you only score by kicking it through goal posts.
