New Zealand Defeats Australia 33-13 in Rugby Championship

New Zealand secured a decisive 33-13 victory over Australia in their final Rugby Championship match, with Caleb Clarke scoring two tries. The All Blacks, who had a rocky start but dominated the latter half, extended their winning streak against the Wallabies to nine matches, finishing the tournament with four wins from six. Australia, under coach Joe Schmidt, ended the Championship at the bottom of the table with only one victory, marking a disappointing campaign. The match also celebrated the 100th Test for flanker Sam Cane, who received a warm ovation from the crowd. Following this victory, New Zealand moved up to second in the championship standings, while South Africa's earlier loss to Argentina set up a tense title decider. Despite their improvement, the Wallabies continue to struggle against New Zealand, having not won on New Zealand soil since 2001.
