New Zealand has secured a bonus‑point win over Australia in the second week of the Rugby Championship, triumphing 29‑9 in Wellington last night.
It was a far closer game than their previous encounter in Sydney last weekend after Australia displayed a much tighter defence compared to their performance last weekend.
However, Israel Dagg scored a brace for his side as New Zealand frequently took advantage of the overlaps they fashioned after some quick recycling.
The win sees the All Blacks consolidate their lead on the overall table after their bonus point last weekend and now sit on top with 10 points.
Unfortunately for Australia, they sit at the bottom of the table after not picking up a single point in either game.
Meanwhile, Argentina defeated South Africa 26-24 earlier this morning.
The All Blacks will now meet Argentina at 7.35pm next Saturday while Australia will clash with South Africa at 10.05pm.
