New Zealand bounced back from their record defeat to South Africa in Wellington a fortnight ago to beat Australia 33-24 in their Rugby Championship test match at Eden Park in Auckland this morning.

The All Blacks led 20-17 at halftime after scoring three tries in the first 25 minutes.

They eventually outscored the Wallabies by four tries to three for a bonus point to keep alive their hopes of a record 21st Southern Hemisphere title.

It was their 52nd consecutive test victory at Eden Park, and they also retained the Bledisloe Cup.

The two teams will meet again in Perth next Saturday in the last round of the Rugby Championship.
