Leroy Carter scored one of seven All Blacks tries as they powered to a dominant win over Australia at Eden Park
New Zealand will retain the Bledisloe Cup for a 24th year after powering to a 50-19 victory over Australia at Eden Park on Saturday.
A competitive first half, perhaps even edged by Australia, saw the All Blacks three points ahead at the break as the sides traded two tries each. Back-rows Peter Lakai and Tupou Vaa’i scoring for the hosts, full-back Tom Wright and No 8 Harry Wilson scoring for the Wallabies.
But the second half proved altogether different, as the All Blacks added five further tries through scrum-half Cam Roigard, hooker Codie Taylor and wings Leroy Carter, Josh Moorby and Will Jordan.
Electric fly-half Damian McKenzie also added six conversions and a penalty in victory.
The success sees New Zealand remain unbeaten at Eden Park since 1994, and 2002 as the year Australia last held the Bledisloe Cup.

The Bledisloe Cup can now not be won by Australia, however, as even victory will see New Zealand retain it owing to Saturday’s result.
That match is also live on Sky Sports Main Event from 6am.
