The All Blacks' latest win against France in Paris saw them retain the David Gallaher Cup.

The All Blacks are celebrating eight years at the top of the world rugby rankings.

Their current reign now extends to 2922 days since regaining the No 1 position on September 17, 2009.

The statistics from a team headed by Sir Graham Henry and handed over to Steve Hansen are an incredible display of consistency.

Crucially they have won two World Cups in that time, in New Zealand in 2011 and England in 2015, and have every piece of silverware available to them from individual contest with other countries.

They have won 96 of their 108 tests with just nine losses and three draws.

In those tests they have scored 472 tries and totalled 3811 points.

The Wallabies have beaten them three times and drawn with them twice. The Springboks have beaten them twice while Ireland, England and the British and Irish Lions are the only other teams to have beaten them during the eight-year reign at the top of the game.

The All Blacks dominance extends beyond this current magic spell. Since the world rankings were introduced in 2003, New Zealand have been No 1 for 87.22 per cent of the time.

Historically the All Blacks have now played 564 tests for 435 wins, 109 losses and 20 draws for a winning percentage of 77.13 per cent, to be one of the most successful teams in the history of any international sport.

This weekend they take on Scotland at Edinburgh, a team they have never lost a test against.

England are the current world No 2, followed by Australia, Ireland, South Africa, Scotland, Wales, France, Fiji and Argentina making up the top 10.
