The study also stated that there is a possibility of a minimum temperature below -4 degrees Celsius and a maximum temperature of approximately 1 degree Celsius. The Telegraph claims that there’s even a chance of sleet.

ranked third Australia now has 78 points from 11 games (seven wins, three defeats, and one tie), closing the gap following the Wellington Test. They gained 12 significant points.
