10:57The full-time graphic confirms the result.

Sky Sports packs plenty of New Zealand's attacking repertoire into its Sydney highlights: wide passes, quick finishes and an Ardie Savea dummy that opens a route straight to the line.

Savea's contribution comes off a scrum, with the All Blacks already well ahead. Beauden Barrett then intercepts an Australian pass before halftime and races away, adding another setback for a Wallabies side struggling to contain the visitors.

The second Bledisloe Cup Test recap reached roughly 133,000 views before its first day was over, far beyond this channel's usual opening-day audience. The comments were also several times busier than a typical first day.

Much of that conversation concerns the opening try. Viewers question whether a New Zealand player had gone into touch during the buildup to Emoni Narawa's finish. Elsewhere, the discussion turns to the All Blacks' handling and Australia's more productive running game after halftime.

The Wallabies do find openings through Harry Potter and Filipo Daugunu, though New Zealand finishes with a 43-21 win. Sky Sports also posted the pre-match haka separately, giving the Sydney occasion a second, rather different highlight.

Terrific handling by the ABs, but the Wallabies never gave up and had success with their running game in the second half...lots of potential with that Aussie set up..
