Why it matters
This result reinforces the All Blacks' historical dominance in the Bledisloe Cup and highlights the current performance gap between the two rugby nations.
The All Blacks have locked away the Bledisloe Cup for the 24th consecutive season, outclassing Les Kiss’ Wallabies at Eden Park to claim a 50-19 victory.
The Wallabies travelled across the ditch to Auckland with hope, and the form to back it up, but Dave Rennie and the All Blacks stormed home at their storied fortress.
It was clinical from the home side in the second period, a stark contrast to the first, where the home side couldn’t capitalise on the given opportunities.
The Wallabies struggled to impose themselves at Eden Park. Kiss’ side had moments where they put intense pressure on the All Blacks, but too often, they lacked the finishing touches.
