I'll leave you with the match report from our man at the ground, Liam Napier.

Good win for the All Blacks there. The Wallabies came flying out of the gates, dominating the play in the opening minutes and hitting the lead through Fraser McReight. 

But the hosts had plenty of success when they attacked the line, with Sevu Reece, Will Jordan and Caleb Clarke all showing their speed to score in the first half - Clarke scoring a second later in the game. 

The All Blacks also got a try through Tamaiti Williams, with Beauden Barrett slotting four conversions. 

The Wallabies didn't score a point after Noah Lolosio's 37th-minute penalty.

Sky Stadium has not been a great venue for the All Blacks of late. They’ve had one win in their past seven tests in Wellington, going back to the 2017 British and Irish Lions series. The last time Australia visited, the Wallabies left with a 16-16 draw after Jordie Barrett nailed a 79th-minute penalty to earn a face-saving result. The All Blacks’ last two tests in the capital have resulted in a 10-point defeat and an eight-point loss. Ouch.

Australia have played the All Blacks six times at Sky Stadium, their only win coming in the 2000 test when John Eales kicked a late winning penalty. They drew the last encounter 16-16 in 2020. Australia do have two other victories at Sky Stadium, both at the 2011 Rugby World Cup, beating USA 67-5 and a quarter-final win over South Africa 11-9.

Australia also have victories over the All Blacks at Athletic Park in 1949, 1964, 1982, 1986 and 1990.
