Australia ended New Zealand's amazing run of victories when the two sides played to a thrilling 18-all draw in their Bledisloe Cup Test on Saturday.
In a try-less arm-wrestle that lasted an amazing six extra minutes, it was six Dan Carter penalties against six from the Wallabies (five by Mike Harris and one from Kurtley Beale) that saw the draw end the All Blacks' run after 16 victories.
The Test world record of 17 consecutive victories are still shared by New Zealand and South Africa.
