In 145 tests between the All Blacks and the Wallabies, a staggering 99 of those matches have been won by the New Zealanders.
It is 26 years since the Wallabies beat the All Blacks at Eden Park and they have now been unable to win back the coveted Bledisloe Cup from their rivals for 10 years.
The statistics don't lie, the gap between these two proud rugby nations appears to be widening and with an emphatic 22-0 victory from the All Blacks on Saturday night, that gap shows no signs of closing any time soon.
After yet another lacklustre performance from Robbie Deans' men in Sydney last week, multiple personnel changes were made; the underperforming Kurtley Beale was demoted to the bench, whilst Berrick Barnes was stripped of his number 10 jersey and shunted to second five-eighth to make way for the return of Eden Park's favourite son, Quade Cooper.
It was predicted to be a ‘blowout' win for the All Blacks by many people around the country; it did not start as this, however. The Wallabies looked a lot more determined within the first 20 minutes of the match; holding the majority of the possession and territory in the early stages.
Unfortunately for the Australians, the ill-discipline that featured heavily in the first Bledisloe Cup test reared its ugly head again. Silly infringements and a professional foul from their stand-in captain Will Genia cost them dearly as they lost a player for 10 minutes and conceded three kickable penalties, Dan Carter taking the All Blacks to a 9-0 lead at halftime.
The Wallabies' woes continued early in the second half, Dan Carter adding a fourth penalty from 52 metres.
The deficit continued to rise a few minutes later as the All Blacks waltzed their way to the try line, Israel Dagg provided the finish near the posts as he scored the game's only try. After a conversion and another penalty was provided by Carter, the lead now extended to 22-0 with 30 minutes to play.
That is how the score line remained as the Australians simply ran out of ideas on how to come back from such a considerable margin.
The All Blacks retaining the Bledisloe Cup for another year and are now await their final meeting of 2012 to take their 100th victory over the Australians.
Let's recap on what was hot, and what was not from the second test of 2012 between these two nations.
Hot: Ben Smith - Although his contribution was in a cameo role as he replaced Ma'a Nonu in the second half, the Otago utility back provided some electric pace to this game and looked dangerous every time he held the ball. He will be unlucky if he misses out on a starting spot against the Pumas in two weeks' time.
Holding the Wallabies scoreless - A feat which has not been replicated since 1962, 50 years ago! This was thanks the All Blacks holding their discipline within their own half, a vast improvement on last week.
Not: Nathan Sharpe - In his final game against the All Blacks in Wallabies colours, the 106 test veteran showed his name was sadly ironic, as he produced an average performance which will end his career on a blunt note.
Handling error count - The only fault I could find in the All Black performance, something to work on perhaps but merely a minor fault in an otherwise brilliant victory.
