Richie Mo'unga scores an excellent brace as the All Blacks dominate the first half

The All Blacks lead the Wallabies 26-0 at half time with first five Richie Mo'unga scoring a first-half brace.

The All Blacks got off the mark thanks to a try from front-rower Karl Tu'inukuafe in the 5th minute after Filipo Daugunu was sent to the sin bin in the 2nd minute for a tackle on Caleb Clarke who jumped for a high ball.

Mo'unga took over the kicking duties for the All Blacks and slotted the conversion before scoring an excellent try in the 21st minute.

Dane Coles and Caleb Clarke were denied tries, both from the TMO, but Mo'unga's was in for the second try for the All Blacks after he threw a dummy and sprinted through two defenders before rounding Noah Lolesio to score.



The second try from Mo'unga was just as brilliant as Beauden Barrett chip over the Wallabies defence for his flyhalf who read it perfectly. 


Mo'unga beat Marika Koroibete on the cover defence before jogging in score.


Dane Coles scored from close range in the 30th minute as the All Blacks took a massive lead into half time.
