New Zealand's grip on the Bledisloe Cup continued as they claimed a 50-19 victory over Australia at Eden Park.

Peter Lakai, Tupou Vaa'i, Cam Roigard, Codie Taylor, Leroy Carter, Josh Moorby, Will Jordan went over for the All Blacks in a dominant victory.

New Zealand have now taken a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series, ensuring they retain the Bledisloe Cup, which Australia have not held since 2002.

The All Blacks were pushed hard in the first half, with Australia going into the break only three points behind.

Laka and Vaa'i crossed for New Zealand, with Tom Wright and Harry Wilson grabbing tries for the Wallabies.

Yet New Zealand's quality and physicality told in a second-half surge.

A bright spell after the restart failed to result in any score for Australia, and New Zealand made them pay in clinical fashion, with Roigard, Taylor, Carter, Moorby and Jordan getting over the line to round off an emphatic victory.

The All Blacks have reeled off 12 straight Test wins over the Wallabies, marking their longest unbeaten run against Australia, surpassing an 11-match streak between 1967 and 1978 (W10 D1). 

12 - The @AllBlacks' 50-19 victory against Australia tonight is their 12th consecutive Test win vs the Wallabies - their outright longest unbeaten against them, surpassing an 11-match span (W10 D1) from 1967 to 1978. Inevitable. https://t.co/hI4tGh66Bj

All Blacks' Aussie dominance rolls on

Australia have not won at Eden Park since 1986, while New Zealand are unbeaten at their Auckland home since 1994.

The Wallabies came into this series on the back of a morale-boosting 42-38 win over world champions South Africa, but ultimately they did not have enough to end their long hoodoo at the hands of their trans-Tasman rivals.

"Credit to New Zealand, they are a quality side, and playing them here [Eden Park] is always tough," Australia captain Wilson told Sky Sports.

"We did a really good job to be in the fight after that first half, and then we had an opportunity at the start of the second half and blew it."

For the All Blacks, it was a return to form following their four losses to South Africa across August and September.

"It's pretty special, the Bledisloe Cup means a lot to this country," Jordie Barrett told Sky Sports.

"We spent a lot of time on the road this year, and we spoke about it this week. We wanted to show what it was like to be an All Black and play in front of our fans.

"We're proud of the performance. We wanted to keep maxing out with our energy, and we got a lot of physical dominance up front."
