With the Bledisloe Cup already in the bag, New Zealand were up 32-0 with 20 minutes to play in Auckland
New Zealand in Rugby Championship title contention
Will Jordan, Sam Whitelock, Codie Taylor and Samisoni Taukei’aho touched down for New Zealand, with a first-half penalty try underscoring the Wallabies’ lack of composure in the Auckland cauldron. Marika Koroibete’s kicking game was on, and the Wallabies lingered long in New Zealand’s last 22, struggling only to finish.
New Zealand’s second was less elegant, with referee Andrew Brace awarding a penalty try and ordering David Porecki to spend 10 minutes on the sidelines for collapsing the maul. A fortuitous TMO call brought Whitelock the All Blacks third try, with the power of the Kiwi mauls sending Taylor and Taukei’aho over for their fourth and fifth of the night either side of Fainga’a’s face-saver.
