A blistering start from New Zealand laid the platform for a comfortable 41-12 victory over hosts Argentina in their Rugby Championship opener in Mendoza.
The Wallabies have endured a nightmare Bledisloe Cup clash at the MCG, losing the trophy to the All Blacks for a 21st year and also prop Allan Alaalatoa to a serious injury.
The Wallabies' World Cup preparations lay in tatters after a demoralising 34-31 Rugby Championship loss to Argentina in Sydney.
New Zealand rode another blistering start to a 35-20 victory over South Africa at Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday, making a big statement in a World Cup year and placing one hand on the Rugby Championship trophy.
The Wallabies have turned in a horror first Test under coach Eddie Jones, falling 43-12 to South Africa to continue their 60-year drought in Pretoria.
French referee Mathieu Raynal said he "100%" stood by his much-criticised decision to penalise Australia's Bernard Foley for time-wasting against the All Blacks earlier this month.
