New Zealand demolishes world champions Australia

Australia 21 New Zealand 50

New Zealand demolished world champions Australia by a record margin in their Tri-Nations clash at Telstra Stadium here on Saturday night.

The All Blacks asserted their southern hemisphere dominance with a seven-try blitz, the same number of tries they scored a week ago when they overwhelmed South Africa 52-16.

Electric All Black winger Joe Rokocoko ran in a hat-trick of touchdowns - while the Aussies could muster only three tries, two of them late in the match which was watched by 82,000 spectators.
