All Blacks

The All Blacks thumped the Wallabies at Eden Park in Auckland to put one hand on the Rugby Championship trophy.

The visitors paid dearly for their ill-discipline in the first half as forwards Jed Holloway and David Porecki were both sent to the sin bin as New Zealand built up a 17-0 lead at the break. Tries by Will Jordan, Codie Taylor, Sam Whitelock and Samisoni Taukei'aho plus a first-half penalty try at Eden Park kept New Zealand top of the table in the final round of matches. Their points difference is now 39 better than South Africa's.

New Zealand hasn't lost a test at Eden Park in 28 years and hasn't lost to Australia at the Auckland stadium since 1986.

All Blacks on the forward march here! The All Blacks opt for a lineout... Incursion from Porecki who goes to the bin - in fairness it was the whole pack dragging the NZ maul down, but someone had to take the hit. Impressive work from the hosts to push the visitors back as the pressure started to build. The story of the game for the visitors.
