Fiji born All Blacks star winger Waisake Naholo scored two tries in two minutes against Wallabies to win the Rugby Championship and Bledisloe cup opener 38‑13 in Sydney last night.

The Wallabies were leading at half time 6-5 but New Zealand managed to score 33 second‑half points.

The Wallabies played a strong first half, but the All Blacks scored before the break through Aaron Smith in Sydney.

Jack Goodhue crossed for their second try and Beauden Barrett the third as the Wallabies' set‑piece buckled and Brodie Retallick secured a bonus-point try.

The victory was a record 13th consecutive Rugby Championship win for the defending champions.

All Blacks captain Kieran Reid told Sky Sports that they give credit to the Wallabies, as they had to fight really hard and it was a full 80‑minute game.

The two sides will meet again next Saturday at Eden Park, Auckland in round two of the Rugby Championship.

In another Rugby Championship match, South Africa defeated Argentina 34-21 this morning.
