AUCKLAND: The All Blacks silenced their critics with a physical and polished performance to retain the Bledisloe Cup for a 17th season with a 36-0 victory over Australia that also quelled concerns the wheels might be coming off before the World Cup.
Australia had not beaten the All Blacks in New Zealand since 2001 - a run of 22 losses - and were winless in Bledisloe tests at Eden Park for the last 33 years.They also invariably faced a backlash from the All Blacks smarting from a record loss. The Wallabies were then able to get back into the game due to some poor discipline by the All Blacks as they conceded a succession of penalties.
Smith then scored the second try after a poor kick downfield allowed Barrett to counter-attack with Bridge, who exploited a mismatch through a gap and found the scrumhalf inside him to give the All Blacks a 17-0 lead.
