The All Blacks have retained the Bledisloe Cup for another year with a 27-16 win over Australia in Wellington.

Wing Ben Smith was once again at the forefront of the All Black's scorecard, crossing the line twice in the first half.

First-five Tom Taylor showed impressive form on debut, kicking four penalties and one conversion for the hosts.

The All Blacks had the upper hand in the first half and had a 15-6 lead at halftime.

Israel Folau momentarily brought the Wallabies back into the game with ten minutes to go with a runaway try, however the boot of backup goal kicker Israel Dagg secured the 27-16 victory.

The All Blacks will take on Argentina on the 7th of next month in the Rugby Championship. 

Meanwhile South Africa defeated Argentina 22-17 in a rugby championship match.
