However, their first Grand Slam since 1984 was not possible after a 20–13 loss to England in the opening week of the tour, which also meant they were unable to retain the Cook Cup. The Wallabies became the first team to score 33 points against New Zealand in New Zealand during the third Bledisloe Cup match, and also retained the Lansdowne Cup against Ireland. They reclaimed the Hopetoun Cup for the first time since 2006, after losing it in 2009 and failing to regain it in 2012. Australia also won the James Bevan Trophy for the eighth time, and for the sixth consecutive time, in the closing match of the tour.
