All Blacks beat Wallabies 43-21 in Sydney to complete Bledisloe sweep

New Zealand defeated Australia 43-21 at Accor Stadium in Sydney on Saturday to complete a Bledisloe Cup series sweep. The All Blacks scored seven tries and extended their winning run against the Wallabies to 13 matches, according to Rugby.com.au's match report and live coverage.

Watch the highlights:

The visitors established a 36-7 halftime advantage, leaving Australia facing a 29-point deficit before the second half began. Nathan Williamson reported for Rugby.com.au that early Australian opportunities went unrewarded before New Zealand punished mistakes. Josh Moorby opened the scoring, and Peter Lakai broke through to set up Beauden Barrett. Lakai and Rieko Ioane then added tries to make it 22-0.

Australia responded when Jeremy Williams took an offload from Declan Meredith to score. Williams was subsequently yellow-carded, and Wallace Sititi added another New Zealand try. Barrett intercepted a pass for his second score before the interval. Moorby also completed a double after halftime, extending the lead before Australia produced its two remaining tries.

Nick Wasiliev's Rugby.com.au live coverage recorded Tom Wright's try in the 55th minute and Filipo Daugunu's in the 67th. Meredith also crossed the line during the second half, but a review ruled out the effort for a knock-on. Cam Roigard's defensive intervention prevented the Australian flyhalf from grounding the ball, denying the hosts another scoring opportunity.

Damian McKenzie converted four of New Zealand's seven tries. Ryan Lonergan supplied two conversions for Australia and Meredith added one, with all three Wallabies tries converted. Lakai was named player of the match, while Harry McLaughlin-Phillips came off the bench for his Australian debut. The live coverage put the attendance at 73,399 for the Sydney encounter.

The result followed New Zealand's 50-19 victory at Eden Park a week earlier, when the trophy had already been retained. The All Blacks' official report of that opening match recorded a narrow 17-14 halftime lead before a much stronger second half. In Sydney, the decisive scoring came before the break instead, giving New Zealand control of the return fixture and securing victories in both matches.
