New Zealand took an option on the Bledisloe Cup, after having largely dominated Australia (27-7), Sunday in Auckland, thus erasing the criticisms caused by the draw conceded a week earlier against the same Wallabies (16 -16).
The All Blacks overwhelmed their opponents in the second half, after a balanced first half (10-7 at the break), during the second round of this annual confrontation between the two great Pacific rivals.
To keep the Bledisloe Cup, which they have held since 2003, the New Zealanders just have to win one of the two matches between the two teams in the Rugby Championship. It will begin on October 31 in Australia.
The two selections will also face Argentina, but not South Africa, which withdrew, following the coronavirus pandemic.
