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. The Australian players celebrated and flyhalf Bernard Foley prepared to kick for touch to set up a lineout which could have been the last play of the match.

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. It's a shaky Aussie scrum, Tyrel Lomax getting lots of pats on the back from his team-mates to overturn it. Australia concede a penalty, metres from the try line for a knock on.

That’s the growth we need in this group.” We were shaded in all areas tonight,” Rennie said after the match. “We wanted to come here and perform. The All Blacks extended their lead five minutes later when a rolling maul 5 metres out proved unstoppable, leading to a penalty try and a yellow card to Dave Porecki.
