“We’ve dealt with each challenge we’ve had in meantime. I believe we’ve grown our game to the point of going to this quarter-final really well prepared and feeling whatever happens, whoever we play, it’s going to be a massive game and that’s what the quarter-finals are supposed to be like.”They could not match their performances in previous competitive defeats against France, who did not manage to earn a try bonus point, and Italy, nor their victory over Namibia.
It took New Zealand 20 minutes to score their first try through man-of-the-match Damian McKenzie, but after that the points flowed insatiably.
