All Blacks target outright record

New Zealand's 36-13 win over England on Saturday completed a clean sweep and saw the world champions claim their 17th straight victory.

It matches the 17-Test record streak set by the 1965-69 All Blacks and the 1997-98 South African side " a feat New Zealand coach Steve Hansen reflected on with some pride.

"To be able to sit here and say we've done something two other great sides have done is pleasing because that's what we're trying to do," Hansen said.

"The scoreboard is usually a reflection of what you've done from Sunday to Friday and if you've done that really well and you're a good enough rugby side with a bit of talent, which we are, then you're going to get the outcome that you want fairly regularly."

Winger Julian Savea, who scored a hat-trick of tries on Saturday, described reaching the 17-Test milestone as "pretty awesome".

"It's always been a dream to be part of this team and to make history like that is pretty special to be part of," the 23-year-old said.

The All Blacks can break new ground when they take on Australia in the first Bledisloe Cup match in Sydney in August.

Given the Wallabies were the side they stumbled against when chasing the record in 2010 and 2012, New Zealand will be keen not to slip up again against their trans-Tasman foe.

"It would be quite nice to hold it outright so next (match) we get a chance to do that," captain Richie McCaw said.

"It's about every week going back and keeping your feet on the ground and preparing well to perform. When we get the next chance that's what we've got to do."
