Winger Caleb Clarke scored two tries as New Zealand beat the Wallabies 33-13 on Saturday to round out the Rugby Championship with a third win and snap their six-year victory drought in Wellington.

The All Blacks back three of Sevu Reece, Will Jordan and Clarke all scored tries in the first half and prop Tamaiti Williams also crossed after the break before Clarke added his second in the final quarter.

The Wallabies, who won only one match in the tournament, played some of their best rugby of the year in the first half but only had a Fraser McReight try and two Noah Lolesio penalties to show for their efforts.

Two losses to South Africa and another at home to Argentina meant a 21st Rugby Championship title was beyond the All Blacks, but they will be delighted to have sent former captain Sam Cane home a winner in his 100th test.
