Australia 22 New Zealand 23:New Zealand scored two tries in the final 13 minutes to secure their 10th straight Test win over Australia in the final match of the Tri-Nations.
Richie McCaw, leading the All Blacks for a record 52nd time, and Kieran Read barged over late on, both converted by Piri Weepu, to turn a 13-point deficit into a 23-22 victory for the visitors in Sydney.
James O'Connor's 16th-minute try and three Matt Giteau penalties saw the Wallabies build a 14-6 advantage at half-time.
They added a second try through Adam Ashley-Cooper early in the second half and, when Kurtley Beale landed a penalty with 19 minutes to go, Australia led by 22-9 and looked set to end the record barren run against their neighbours.
But the All Blacks, who had already clinched the Tri-Nations title, produced a late rally to ensure they finish with a 100 per cent record in this year's tournament.
