I think of the All Blacks vs Wales is a really telling measure of the All Blacks dominance.

Wales hasn't beaten the All Blacks since 1953. They have played 33 matches in their history, not including split squad games.

Wales is currently ranked 5th in the World at Rugby. They have been consistently ranked in the top 10 worldwide.

To put that in perspective, imagine Canada going on a 65 year winning streak against a team like the Czech Republic or Slovakia

If I also recall correctly, there have only ever been 5 countries that have beaten New Zealand at rugby as well.

So in any sport, i'm not sure you can rival the All Blacks longevity as being the top dog as the All Blacks dominance is measured in decades, not years.
