The All Blacks' unwavering grasp on the Bledisloe Cup continues after a hard fought 51-20 victory against the Wallabies in the second Bledisloe Cup Test at Eden Park.
Having drawn 12-12 the opening match of The Rugby Championship in damp Sydney conditions the pressure was on for the All Blacks to respond to what was be described as a below par performance.

A full crowd cheered on the All Blacks to win 51-20, after a confident half time score of 23-6.
Since The Rugby Championship's inception in 2012 the All Blacks have claimed the title alongside holding the Bledisloe Cup since 2003.
The All Blacks and Australia have played each other 150 times since 1903, with 102 wins to the All Blacks and 41 losses. Last weekend's 12-12 draw in Sydney was the seventh time the teams have drawn – also halting the All balcks winning streak at 17 games.
The All Blacks will play Australia in game 3 of the Bledisloe Cup in Brisbane on October 18.

do we actually care what you think?, you obviously caught up with some of the match, so if you are such a boring individual with no national pride in "smashing" an Australian at any opportunity, please go live somewhere else, let alone not being able to actually watch "our game" being played skillfully,and give applause,you instead grace us with your inane opinion, do you get out much?.

You must be proud defeating a country in a sport where that sport is not ranked in their top 4. Big news in NZ but hardly made the news in most Australian States.
