New Zealand returned to the top of the world rankings as they beat Wales 54-16 this morning.

Two tries from Beauden Barrett and further scores from TJ Perenara, Will Jordan, Dalton Papalii, Sevu Reece and Anton Lienert-Brown, plus 19 points from Jordie Barrett, sealed the win.

The emphatic victory in Cardiff allowed New Zealand to leapfrog South Africa back to the world number one position.

It was the first game at Principality Stadium that could hold capacity crowds since February 2020 and the Welsh Rugby Union reported a sellout of 74,500 for a game that raised £4m.
