With last weekend's win in South Africa, the All Blacks have further enhanced their dominance as rugby's best team at performing away from home.

Since the ill-fated 2007 Rugby World Cup, the All Blacks are far and away the world's best side when playing in unfamiliar climates, having won 83.3% of their away tests in that time frame.

In their 48 away test matches in the past eight years, the All Blacks have only lost seven times - four in South Africa, two in Australia and one in England. They have also drawn twice against Australia.

Although the fact that Steve Hansen's squad rank atop the ladder is no surprise, their dominance over the other top international teams is extremely impressive.

At 83.3%, the All Blacks are almost 30 percentage points ahead of the next best travelling side - South Africa, who have won 54.6% of their away clashes since 2007.

Somewhat surprisingly, Wales come in third at 50%, ahead of Australia who have struggled of late in their travels, being successful on just 23 of their last 49 away trips.

The worst travellers of all the major rugby playing sides is France - who have won just 11 of their last 38 away test matches, a woeful 30.3% winning rate.

With a trip to Sydney on the schedule next weekend, the All Blacks will have a chance to make their numbers even more impressive before their biggest away trip of all - to England for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
