Congrats to the All Blacks...
While the game may have looked over at half-time when New Zealand led Australia by 16-3, the Wallabies led a spirited fightback in the second half despite conceding an early Ma'a Nonu try.
David Pocock was at the back of a maul which crossed the NZ try line to dot down while Tevita Kuridrani scored scored again for Australia after a clever kick to the corner by Will Genia.
However, they could never quite reel in the All Blacks as Daniel Carter slotted a drop goal in the 70th minute to push the New Zealand lead to 24-17.
He would a further long-range penalty and conversion as Beauden Barrett scored a late breakaway try.
Final score 34-17 to New Zealand.
