2019 would prove to be a mixed year for the All Blacks, starting their campaign with an unconvincing 16 - 20 win over a tough Argentinian side, and a 16 all draw against the Springboks. However, the next week they were given their joint worst loss in their history, once again to the Wallabies, 26 - 47, after Scott Barrett was sent off. They, however, would get back on track, showcasing the form they have been in the past years, with a 36 - 0 shutout in their rematch at Eden Park to retain the Bledisloe Cup, and would finish their season with a 92 - 7 pummeling against Tonga.
