AUCKLAND<\/span> Aug 25 (Reuters) – Daniel Carter ensured New
\nZealand converted their territorial domination into points as
\nthe All Blacks beat Australia 22-0 in their Rugby Championship
\nclash at Eden Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Flyhalf Carter kicked five penalties and converted Israel
\nDagg’s try to score 17 points for the All Blacks, whose victory
\nensured they retained the Bledisloe Cup for the 10th successive
\nseason and piled the pressure on Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

New Zealand, who have now held the Bledisloe Cup since 2003,
\nhave not lost to Australia at Eden Park since 1986. They have
\nalso won 14 of their 17 tests against their closest neighbours
\nsince Deans took over as coach in 2008.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The All Blacks face Australia in the third match of the
\nseries, which is not part of the Rugby Championship, in Brisbane
\non Oct. 20.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“To lock the Bledisloe up for another year, I’m very proud
\nof the way the guys took to their work,” All Blacks captain
\nRichie McCaw said in a pitchside interview.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The All Blacks dominated territory for much of the game, and
\nforced the Wallabies to play much of their rugby inside their
\nown half.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The world champions did not concede a kickable penalty until
\nthe 51st minute, though the Wallabies chose to kick for an
\nattacking lineout in the corner and then lost the ball.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“We realised the Wallabies would come back more intensely.
\nThey certainly did that but we showed what we were made of when
\nwe didn’t have the ball.
