DSPN -RUGBY

The All Blacks put 50 on Australia and retain the Bledisloe Cup. A win worth celebrating, but how much does it tell us?

Martin Devlin and Aotearoa Rugby Pod’s Ross Karl deliver their immediate post-match verdict, with Jamie Wall reporting from Eden Park.

Cam Roigard puts on a clinic, Damian McKenzie delivers at No.10 and the Barrett brothers stand tall. We break down the second-half demolition, Wallace Sititi’s return to form and the questions that remain around the high ball, breakdown and lineout.

Are the All Blacks making real progress after the Springboks series? And who should get a chance in Sydney?
