New Zealand cantered to the bonus-point victory they needed to secure qualification for theFull-back Damian McKenzie starred for the All Blacks with a try in each half, two conversions and a brilliant one-handed offload for Will Jordan to score the first of his two tries.Richie Mo’unga, who also kicked five conversions, Cam Roigard, Fletcher Newell, Leicester Fainga’anuku with a hat-trick and Tamaiti Williams also crossed in the whitewash.
The All Blacks were much less crisp and precise than in their 14-try demolition of Italy a week earlier and were guilty of several handling errors. New Zealand again thought they had scored when McKenzie went over but that too was chalked off for a neck-roll in the build up.McKenzie was not denied for long, stepping inside a tackler to finally get New Zealand on the board on 20 minutes.Fly-half Mo’unga converted and then soon ran in a second try, with both coming from five-metre scrums as the All Blacks machine started to purr.
