Eight try All Blacks eyeing opening test with the Springboks

The All Blacks ran in eight tries as they put the URC finalists to the sword on home soil. This was the final touring game they play before the first test against the Springboks next saturday.

The hosts got off to a positive start with good attacking shape but were unable to break the defence in the New Zealand 22. The errors then increased and the visitors showed brilliant transition attack off the back of great defence and made their chances count.

A 91% tackle success and 12 line breaks meant it was going to take a big effort from the hosts not to concede 50 but it was a bridge too far.
