If the task wasn't already tough enough, the Wallabies will be filthy at Australian assistant referee Angus Gardner after failing to spot a foot into touch in the lead up to the All Blacks' opening try in Bledisloe I at Sky Stadium, Wellington.
As they so often do, the All Blacks countered after fullback Tom Banks' kick failed to go into touch.
Fullback Damian McKenzie took the ball, before stepping back to the blindside and passing to unleash Rieko Ioane.
But the All Blacks outside centre - who was World Rugby's rookie of the year in 2017 after a scintillating season on the wing - clearly put his left-foot on the white chalk, which was missed by New Zealander referee Paul Williams and Gardner.
Moments later, the All Blacks scored out wide through makeshift winger Jordie Barrett to move 5-0 up after eight minutes.
But the try stood as on-field referees failed to spot the foot on the line and didn't send it up for the TMO to check.
It has been a long time coming, but here is the All Blacks FIRST try of 2020.
