Mission accomplished for Steve Hansen and his All Blacks.

New Zealand arrived in Europe with the Rugby Championship already secured for 2014, albeit without the perfect record of the previous season.

They have faced England, Scotland and Wales on consecutive weekends and seen them all off to end their year as the dominant nation in the world.

Pretty much everywhere you look there are two players for each position who would walk into most other international starting XVs and in some there are double that number.

This autumn some of the supporting cast have had their shot, and while we haven't seen a full 80-minute performance from this team, on each occasion the players on the field have done enough to win. They have made us all feel as though the notion that any other outcome had even been a possibility was a fanciful one.

Here are the tour's winners and losers.
