All Blacks win Bledisloe
A RAMPANT All Blacks produced a six-try blitz in a ruthless display to shatter the Wallabies by a record 51-20 at Eden Park in Auckland yesterday.
It was the highest score ever posted by the All Blacks against the Australians as they buried memories of last week’s Sydney stalemate. They also ensured they retained the Bledisloe Cup, contested between the trans-Tasman rivals, for a 12th consecutive year.
As the Wallabies struggled to cope with sustained pressure, the New Zealand All Blacks were out to a 44-6 lead with 20 minutes to play before allowing the Australians in for two tries.
It was a remarkable turnaround by the All Blacks who appeared ponderous and short of ideas in the 12-12 draw a week ago in the Sydney rain.
The Australians fancied their chances of breaking the Eden Park hoodoo following that stalemate, but on a hard, dry ground they found themselves out-muscled in the forwards and run ragged in the backs.
All Blacks captain Richie McCaw, who was sinbinned early in the game, scored two tries while Kieran Read, Julian Savea and Steven Luatua also crossed, with their pack awarded a penalty try. Flyhalf Aaron Cruden kicked five conversions and three penalties, while Wallabies fullback Israel Folau and captain Michael Hooper crossed for tries with Kurtley Beale adding two penalties and two conversions.
