The AllBlacks extended their remarkable unbeaten run at Eden Park when a stellar display by Richie Mo'unga saw them down the wallabies at their Auckland fortress. AllBlacks NewZealand IOLSport
Their chances of lifting the Cup off New Zealand in the best-of-three series look dim with the second Test also to be played at the All Blacks spiritual home.
Before a near-capacity crowd of just under 50,000, Mo'unga capped his performance with an 18-point contribution from a 70-metre runaway try along with two conversions and three penalties. It was a messy start to the game, particularly for the Wallabies who lost possession at four of their first five lineouts.
After Noah Lolesio missed his first shot at goal the All Blacks won a ruck penalty for Mo'unga to further extend the lead.Things clicked for the Wallabies at the half-hour mark when Lolesio was successful with a penalty and Allan Kellaway, promoted into the team when Marika Koroibete was stood down for a late-night drinking session, scored in the corner.
