The Story in 60 Seconds

New Zealand defeated Australia 50-19 at Eden Park to retain the Bledisloe Cup for a 24th consecutive year. The All Blacks scored five second-half tries, overpowering Les Kiss's Wallabies and ending Australia's six-match unbeaten streak. Australia trailed 17-14 at half-time after tries from Tom Wright and Harry Wilson, but they collapsed under second-half pressure.
