Australia Player ratings vs New Zealand

The visiting All Blacks showed their class to beat a valiant Australia effort and put themselves top of the table, with South Africa still to play Argentina later today. 

After an even start, Scott Robertson’s side put their opponents to the sword in the final ten minutes of the first half with two scores from Quinn Tupaea, which gave them a 17-9 lead that they never looked back from. A Len Ikitau try with 15 minutes to go gave the Wallabies a lifeline that they were not able to capitalise on.

It means that the Bledisloe Cup stays in New Zealand and their winning run against the Wallabies is up to a record 11 games.
