The Wallabies had their moments in the second half, but ultimately fell short against a dominant first half against the All Blacks, who prevailed 43-21 at Accor Stadium in Sydney.
Having claimed the Bledisloe Cup for another year, the All Blacks had fun in the sun in the first half, scoring six tries to run out to a 36-7 lead at halftime.
The Australians have managed to score one try through Jeremy Williams, with Declan Meredith also showing glimpses of promise.
But missed tackles, missed chances and passive defense have proven costly, with Beauden Barrett bagging two tries, being joined by Rieko Ioane, Josh Moorby, Wallace Sititi and Peter Lakai.
Moorby scored a second try early in the second half as things continued to spiral, however the Wallabies managed to stem the tide with a try to Tom Wright in the 55th minute.
Despite the hosts creating several chances in the second half and scoring a third try to Filipo Daugunu, the visitors ultimately achieved enough to secure an historic 13th-straight win over their Trans-Tasman rivals.
