What to make of such a match? It was a very Waratahs' performance. Blown away early, fight back but never really in the hunt. When it mattered, the All Blacks were head and shoulders above the Wallabies and barely made a mistake in the first half.
The Wallabies showed some attacking promise in both halfs and I thought Israel Folau was outstanding in a side that was well beaten.
Where to next week? The Wallabies need to fix their defensive pattern. I would keep Kuridrani in 13 and leave Kerevi on the bench. Stephen Moore tried hard but I think his retirement decision was the right call and Tatafu Polota-Nau should start. I would move Sean McMahon to six and start Lopeti Timani at eight.
Michael Hooper says the Wallabies need to sharpen up their defence for next week ... I suggest they do a lot more than that.
That's it from me. The Wallabies won their second-half comfortably but lost the match by an even bigger margin, which says a lot about the All Blacks' first half performance.

Another scrum penalty but this time the All Blacks have had enough, they tap it and boot it out.

The All Blacks have killed off this game. They get the scrum penalty and have opted for another scrum. There's a chance for more points yet.

Simultaneous grounding so the benefit goes to the defensive team. Wallabies still lead the second-half 28-14, although they still trail by 20.

It looks like a try as Barrett charged down the kick and beat Foley to the ball ... well at least that's the way it looks to me.

The match is drifting now. This game was over before halftime. The All Blacks are dominating play at the moment but the Wallabies bench have impressed.
