The All Blacks scored seven tries through Peter Lakai, Tupou Vaa’i, Cam Roigard, Codie Taylor, Leroy Carter, Josh Moorby and Will Jordan, with Damian McKenzie adding six conversions and a penalty.

The Wallabies responded with tries from Tom Wright, Harry Wilson and Josh Nasser, alongside two conversions from Ryan Lonergan.

The result sees the All Blacks take the first game of the Bledisloe Cup.

Following a disappointing tour against the Springboks in Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, the All Blacks returned to their fortress, Eden Park, to face their traditional rivals from across the ditch.

The Wallabies arrived in Auckland fresh from a victory over the Springboks just under two weeks earlier.

The All Blacks played with the same physicality and speed they had shown against South Africa.

The game began chaotically, with momentum swinging between the two sides, before the All Blacks went into half-time with a narrow 17–14 lead.

The Wallabies, who appeared poised to break the All Blacks’ 53-game unbeaten streak at Eden Park, came into the second half with plenty of intensity.

However, the All Blacks did what they do best, taking complete control after the break and overwhelming the Wallabies to retain the Bledisloe Cup.

The series now moves to Sydney next week, where the All Blacks will look to complete a series sweep.

If the Wallabies thought they had a strong chance of winning, Jordie Barrett quickly put those hopes under pressure.

He was relentless in attack, constantly breaking the line and showcasing his playmaking ability. Although he did not get on the scoresheet himself, he was involved in nearly every try.

Barrett, Damian McKenzie and Cam Roigard orchestrated the All Blacks' attack, but it was his defensive work that truly cemented his man-of-the-match performance. He was dominant in the tackle and consistently stopped the Wallabies in their tracks.

Wallabies head coach Dave Rennie summed up Barrett’s performance with one statement: “Best midfielder in the world by a longshot.”

It was difficult to single out a disappointing performance in a 50-point demolition, but Will Jordan struggled to find his footing for much of the game.

Despite scoring a brilliant try to finish the match, Jordan found it difficult to break the line, had a pass intercepted near the try line and conceded a couple of penalties in the first half, contributing to the All Blacks' struggles to build momentum early on.

However, it is difficult to say Jordan had a bad game when he still managed to score.

Despite his struggles, he registered his 56th Test try for the All Blacks and continued his scoring streak against the Wallabies. All Blacks fans should not be too concerned by one relatively quiet performance.

It was a difficult night for Wallabies halfback Ryan Lonergan, who struggled to keep his side in the game.

A 50–19 defeat would usually prompt questions about the forward pack, but Lonergan had a difficult outing of his own. Despite adding two conversions, his kicking was inconsistent.

Both conversions drifted towards the far side of the posts, despite coming from reasonable positions, and he missed a crucial penalty in the first half that could have levelled the score at 17–17 heading into the break.

The missed kick came during a passage of play in which the Wallabies had built momentum, and converting the opportunity could have changed the complexion of the game.

Lonergan also struggled to make a significant impact in attack.

He was involved in the build-up to his side's first try but found it difficult to create opportunities in the second half. His defensive performance was also disappointing, with the All Blacks exploiting gaps through the middle of the field to create multiple tries and line breaks.

As a team, the Wallabies had several players who struggled, and Lonergan may not have been the worst performer on the pitch.

However, as the starting halfback in what was potentially their biggest match of the calendar year, expectations were high, and he failed to meet them.

Expectations were high for the Wallabies heading into the first Bledisloe Cup Test.

Following a victory over the Springboks the previous week, fans and pundits believed Australia had a genuine chance of reclaiming the Bledisloe Cup for the first time since 2002 and potentially ending the All Blacks' remarkable 53-game unbeaten streak at Eden Park.

Instead, the Wallabies suffered a good old-fashioned hiding as the All Blacks ran riot in a 50–19 thumping.

The result means New Zealand retains the Bledisloe Cup for another year and extends its remarkable winning streak at Eden Park.

Les Kiss now has plenty of work to do ahead of the second and final Test in Sydney, particularly when it comes to squad selection. Here are five players he should consider dropping before the rematch.

Potter was called upon earlier than expected following a head injury to Len Ikitau in the 29th minute, but he struggled to make a positive impact.

He missed multiple tackles in the second half as the momentum swung firmly in the All Blacks' favour. His struggles were highlighted by three missed tackles that contributed to All Blacks tries, and he remained relatively quiet for the rest of the match.

Ikitau failed his head injury assessment (HIA), leaving his availability for the second Test uncertain.

However, Kiss cannot afford to overlook Potter's performance when considering his starting options.

If Ikitau is unavailable, the Wallabies coach must carefully consider whether Potter deserves a starting spot or a place on the bench if Australia are serious about levelling the series.

It was a night to forget for the Wallabies halfback. Inconsistent kicking, difficulties creating attacking opportunities and a disappointing second-half performance all contributed to Australia's collapse.

Lonergan has enjoyed a strong season with the Brumbies, but his performance against the All Blacks, combined with his struggles against the Springboks on 27 September, may force Kiss to consider alternative options for the second Test.

His defensive performance was particularly concerning, as he missed four tackles and struggled in his channel, allowing the All Blacks to dominate the second half.

Lonergan remains an important player for the Wallabies, but back-to-back underwhelming performances mean Kiss may need to reconsider his options at halfback ahead of the final Test.

The 30-year-old, New Zealand-born Wallaby came off the bench in the 57th minute, just as the All Blacks began to seize control of the game.

As was the case throughout the match, Australia's substitutions failed to have the desired impact and contributed to the second-half collapse. Ross was steady in the scrum but lacked the intensity needed to contain the All Blacks and offered little in attack.

Although the forward pack struggled collectively and Ross held his own in the set piece, his overall contribution was not enough to justify a significant role in the second Test.

Unfortunately for Kiss, the Wallabies' replacement halfback also struggled. Coming on in the 62nd minute, McDermott brought energy and determination as he attempted to help salvage the game, but he struggled to create meaningful opportunities for his side.

His defensive efforts were reasonable, but he found it difficult to stop the All Blacks' attacks and misplaced a pass that contributed to a late try.

McDermott had a golden opportunity to show Kiss that he deserved the starting halfback role for the second Test following Lonergan's struggles. However, he failed to make the positive impact required to strengthen his case.

Meredith replaced Ben Donaldson in the 67th minute, and one of his most notable moments was missing a conversion in the 76th minute.

Donaldson had been one of the few Wallabies players to put in a decent performance, making Meredith's introduction another decision that could be questioned. Alongside the missed kick, Meredith struggled at both ends of the field and offered little during the closing stages.

With Donaldson and fullback Tom Wright having produced relatively strong performances, Meredith may find it difficult to secure a more prominent role in the second Test. His display could also leave him out of the matchday squad altogether for the final game.
