SYDNEY (Reuters) - All Blacks coach Ian Foster has lauded his team for their record-breaking response to the challenge presented by the Wallabies in Saturday's Rugby Championship opener as the squad prepares to head off for an open-ended tour of Australia.

New Zealand ran up a record points tally in the emphatic 57-22 victory over their neighbours at Eden Park, scoring five tries in the second half to secure the coveted Bledisloe Cup for the 19th straight season.
