Rampant All Blacks crush Wallabies 43-21 to extend dominance

In an emphatic display, New Zealand's All Blacks dispatched the Wallabies 43-21 in Sydney, extending their unbroken winning streak over the hosts to 13 Tests. Beauden Barrett and Josh Moorby each scored twice for the All Blacks, while Peter Lakai, Rieko Ioane, Wallace Sititi, Jeremy Williams, Tom Wright, and Filipo Daugunu also touched down.

The margin widened to 36-7 after a blistering first-half, with Barrett and Moorby adding tries in quick succession. Australia managed a solitary try through Williams, but a sin-bin for offside and Sititi's score extended New Zealand's lead to 36-14. Sititi added another try moments later, followed by Barrett's second following an intercept and 75-meter run.

Malaysia's Peter Lakai capped off the scoring in the second half with a try. New Zealand's Codie Taylor praised his team's performance in the first 40 minutes, while Australia's Harry Wilson expressed disappointment in his team's performance, emphasizing the need for improvement ahead of the Rugby World Cup.
