Beauden Barrett, Caleb Clarke praised by All Blacks coach

All Blacks coach Ian Foster has acknowledged standout performers Caleb Clarke and Beauden Barrett after the pair spearheaded his side's 27-7 win over the Wallabies at Eden Park.

Clarke and Barrett were both nightmares for the Wallabies defence as they made multiple line-breaks throughout the contest.

Barrett returned to the All Blacks' line-up after missing last week's 16-16 draw with an achilles injury, but showed he can still add to the team's efforts in the No.15 jersey despite some critics wanting him to play at first-five.

21-year-old Clarke even earned a standing ovation from the Eden Park crowd as he left the field after his first run on test.

Clarke says he was nervous before the match.

All Blacks coach Ian Foster says the All Blacks can still improve.

The third Bledisloe Cup test is in Sydney at 8.45pm next Saturday.
