All Blacks dominate Wales, Springboks punish ill-disciplined Ireland

New Zealand continued their longstanding dominance over Wales as they cruised to a seven-try 52-26 win in Cardiff.

The All Blacks have now won each of their last 34 matches against Wales, who were made to pay for their ill-discipline.

Though Wales initially kept pace with New Zealand after Caleb Clarke scored the first of his two tries early on, they failed to maintain that pace at the Principality Stadium.

Sevu Reece also crossed twice, with Ruben Love, Tamaiti Williams and Rieko Ioane also getting in on the action, while Damian McKenzie supplied 17 points.

Tom Rogers’ hat-trick held up a spirited display, with Louis Rees-Zammit also scoring a try, but yellow cards for Gareth Thomas and Taine Plumtree proved costly.

Ireland also suffered from indiscipline as they rounded off their autumn international slate with a 24-13 defeat to South Africa.

It was a frustrating match for Andy Farrell, who saw his side given five cards – a red for James Ryan, and yellows for Sam Prendergast, Jack Crowley, Andrew Porter and Paddy McCarthy.

Damian Willemse and Cobus Reinach both crossed in a chaotic first half that also saw the Springboks awarded a penalty try, with Dan Sheehan getting Ireland's only score of the first half.

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu's excellent individual try rounded off the victory for South Africa, who earned their first win on Irish soil in four attempts.
