A visibly gutted Wallabies skipper James Horwill and an angry and frustrated Australian coach Ewen McKenzie fronted the press after losing the Bledisloe Cup to the All Blacks in Wellington.

All Blacks loose-head prop Tony Woodcock has marked his 100th All Blacks Test cap in front of a sell-out Bledisloe Cup crowd at Wellington’s Westpac Stadium tonight. Since his debut against Wales at Cardiff in 2002, Woodcock has been one of the game’s toughest toilers at the top level. His durability and consistently high standard as one of the world’s best loose-head props has seen him described as one of rugby’s quiet achievers. At 32, Woodcock now joins a small group of All Blacks to mark the rare milestone - his Rugby World Cup 2011 champion teammates captain Richie McCaw, Mils Muliaina and Keven Mealamu.

The All Blacks retained the Bledisloe Cup in Wellington tonight with a 27-16 win over Australia and the New Zealand rugby public were given a glimpse in to the future.

With lessons learned from last week, Richie McCaw (All Blacks) and James Horwill (Wallabies) ready their teams for the Wellington Bledisloe test with a need to pressure and protect Tom Taylor and get the scrums straight.

The 24-year-old Taylor will suit up in the most famous sporting club in New Zealand and join his father, who began his international career as a midfield back against the Lions in 1983. The Taylors will be the 18th father-and-son combination to play for the All Blacks.

Tom Taylor is the starting All Blacks first five and Herald scribes Gregor Paul and Wynne Gray give their expert opinion and analysis on the new pivot and the role he has to play.

Captain Richie McCaw had reiterated his class on his comeback as had Aaron Cruden at five-eighths, while Ma'a Nonu was a rock in midfield despite an ankle problem. Coach Hansen and Captain McCaw reflect after the first test victory and look ahead to traveling to the earthquake prone capital to play for the Bledisloe.

As the dust settles for Aaron and Ben Smith after the Bledisloe victory in Sydney, they reflect on the match and prepare to head home to the earthquake affected Wellington for the second Test match.

Rested, rehabilitated and ready, Richie McCaw will begin his final career ascent tonight, determined to push on and lead the All Blacks in a successful World Cup defence. Stop McCaw, stop the All Blacks - he is their everything and the Wallabies will be after him tonight. They will fancy he's undercooked, that he can be run off his feet.

The new look Wallabies meet the press before the first Bledisloe Cup test in Sydney. Ewen McKenzie was not interested in blokes who were happy to do their core jobs; he looked for those who would do the extra graft, work for another tackle or hit another ruck; men who would do the "one per cent" stuff all the time.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen gives his opinion on the new look Wallabies and their coaching panel before the first Bledisloe Cup test in Sydney.

Steve Hansen discusses Dan Carter being on the sideline while his calf injury heals. All Blacks coach Steve Hansen labelled Carter as a "red flag athlete'' last year due to his recurring leg problems, which have also included groin and hamstring issues.

Dan Carter has been ruled out of all rugby for three to four weeks due to a calf strain. Carter's injury was revealed by APNZ this morning, with the All Blacks today confirming the problem, which will rule the first-five out of this Saturday's Bledisloe Cup test against Australia in Sydney and the return encounter in Wellington a week later.

The Bledisloe war of words has started with All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster, lock Brodie Retallick and fullback Israel Dagg meeting the press before next weeks clash against the Wallabies in Sydney.

All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen was happy overall with the teams performance but says there is still slot of work to do. With the two new caps making their debut, the hometown hero Beauden Barret also touch down taking the finals score to 24-9

The French captain Thierry Dusautoir was disappointed with their last performance, saying too may errors and lost ball giving the All Blacks opportunities which they don't need is the main concern for them in the last test of the series.

All Blacks Captain Kieran Read says a win is priority to get the 3-0 clean sweep of the series and to maintain their high standard of game.

Renee Ranger will get a starting position in the third & final test against the French, and making his return will be Dan Carter into the number 10 jersey giving Aaron Cruden a much needed rest.

Herald writers Gregor Paul & Patrick McKendry give their expert opinion & analysis on the All Blacks team to play the French in the third & final test being played at Yarrow Stadium, New Plymouth.

The All Blacks played their 500th test last weekend, putting on a milestone-worthy performance during their 30-0 victory. We've reached back into the archives ahead of test No501 to find some iconic All Black images.

The All Blacks trained at Yarrow Park in preparation for the third & final test against the French. Sam Cane said they would love to go 3-0 and that there is definitely no lack of motivation to get them there.

So much of the All Blacks' work dented and frustrated the French but it was the power, accuracy and tenacity of the tackling and scrambling that broke the spirit.
