Overview
- New Zealand scored through Caleb Clarke (2), Sevu Reece (2), Ruben Love, Tamaiti Williams and Rieko Ioane, with Damian McKenzie landing seven conversions and a penalty for 17 points.
- Wales wing Tom Rogers produced a hat-trick, reported as the first by a Welshman against the All Blacks, and Louis Rees‑Zammit added a late try.
- Wales incurred yellow cards to Gareth Thomas and Taine Plumtree and conceded 50-plus points at home for the third time this year.
- The All Blacks made 12 changes after last week’s 33-19 loss to England and seized control after halftime through powerful carries from Anton Lienert‑Brown and No. 8 Wallace Sititi.
- The result marked a 34th successive New Zealand win over Wales dating back to 1953, with Wales next hosting South Africa as several regulars remain unavailable due to out‑of‑window scheduling.
