Like the first game, the Wallabies created chances early, with Max Jorgensen and Fraser McReight both making half breaks.
But the Kiwis were there to answer anything thrown at them and punished Australian mistakes to run away with it in the first half.
It started with Josh Moorby, backing up Codie Taylor’s second break of the afternoon to finish nicely.
The Aussies won the kick off and turned to their five metre maul, only for the ball to fall loose.
Minutes later, the Kiwis bounced back, with Player of the Match Peter Lakai breaking clear and Beauden Barrett scoring.
Lakai then scored one of his own, with Rieko Ioane following up to give the All Blacks a 22-0 lead in nearly as many minutes.
Jeremy Williams got the Wallabies on the board after snatching up an offload from Declan Meredith, one of the hosts' best.
However, Williams would sit for ten three minutes later after a cynical foul, giving Wallace Sititi space to strike.
A Barrett intercept for the playmaker’s second cemented a dominant first half and a 36-7 lead heading up the sheds.
This was only extended to start the second half with Moorby’s second after cruising over the line.
Tom Wright stemmed the flow of points after capitalising on a great burst from Jorgensen.
The Wallabies tried to launch an improbable comeback, stopped on several occasions,
Meredith almost went the length of the field after backing up great hands from the forwards, with Cam Roigard somehow stopping the ball from being planted down with his boot.
The Aussies thought Roigard had kicked the ball out of his hands, but the TMO cleared the foul-play referral.
Jorgensen’s double chip-and-chase was classy, but the All Blacks cleaned it up as they marched back down the field.
The Wallabies eventually found a way over after running the length of the field, Wright and Meredith combining to find a backing-up Filipo Daugunu.
The All Blacks finished the game with 14 after running out of subs and Chay Fihaki’s yellow card.
It energised the hosts, but the All Blacks had sealed the win in the first half.
All Blacks 43 (Tries: Moorby 2, B. Barrett 2, Lakai, Ioane, Sititi; Cons: McKenzie 4/7) def Wallabies 21 (Tries: Williams, Wright, Daugunu; Cons: Lonergan 2/2, Meredith 1/1)
