The All Blacks secured a commanding 33-13 victory over the Wallabies in Wellington on September 28, 2024, to wrap up their Rugby Championship campaign. Australia started strongly, taking an early lead with a try from Fraser McReight. However, the All Blacks responded with five tries, showcasing their backline strength, especially through Caleb Clarke, who scored two, and Will Jordan.



After trailing 13-10, the All Blacks capitalized on key moments, including a crucial try from Clarke right before halftime, giving them a 19-13 lead at the break. From there, New Zealand dominated the second half, adding tries from Tamaiti Williams and Clarke once again to seal the win. Beauden Barrett was solid with the boot, converting four of the five tries.

This victory marked the ninth consecutive win for the All Blacks over the Wallabies and gave Sam Cane a memorable farewell in his 100th Test as the All Blacks completed their home season.


The Wallabies, despite a strong start, struggled to maintain possession and failed to capitalize on their early pressure. Captain Harry Wilson expressed disappointment with the loss, acknowledging his team's inability to break through the All Blacks' defense in the second half.


This result continued Australia's long winless streak on New Zealand soil, while the All Blacks looked forward to their challenging Northern tour, where they will face teams like England and Ireland
