Scoring two tries to one, New Zealand benefited from a 22-point haul from fly-half Dan Carter, who converted both tries and landed six penalties.

It was a more committed Australian side who showed they had regained their physicality to put the experience of their 33-6 loss to the All Blacks in Wellington behind them. But they were still unable to find the finesse to put Graham Henry's side under sufficient pressure.

Number eight Wycliff Paul twice went close to scoring, being held up on the line the first time, and losing the ball in the tackle the second time.

Handling mistakes proved costly on several occasions for the Wallabies.

Half-back Will Genia, inside centre Adam Ashley-Cooper and wing Digby Ioane were each slippery on attack but were unable to head off the All Blacks cover defence.

New Zealand's performance was not as dominant as in Wellington but with all the emphasis on coaching changes the lineout proved more competitive from the outset.

Australia did make the most of the sin-binning of wing Sitiveni Sivivatu after a dangerous tackle on an airborne Ashley-Cooper and wing Peter Hynes was awarded a controversial try soon after when referee Mark Lawrence became frustrated at the delay in the decision-making of a Japanese television match official.

Sivivatu scored the first try of the match in the 19th minute after some fine work from Richie McCaw and Conrad Smith stepped through the Australians to go over for a 45th-minute try.
