Overview

• Cam Roigard marked his return from injury with two tries, finishing the match with a decisive score in the 75th–76th minute.
• New Zealand extended their Eden Park unbeaten streak to 52 Tests as Australia’s drought at the venue stretched back to 1986.
• The All Blacks surged to a 20-3 lead before Wallabies tries to Billy Pollard, Harry Potter and Carlo Tizzano cut the margin to 26-24.
• Australia’s Harry Potter was shown a yellow card in the 73rd minute, and multiple outlets reported criticism of referee Andrea Piardi’s decisions.
• The win moved New Zealand to the top of the table with one match later in the day to come, and the teams face a return Test in Perth next week.
