All Blacks thumped the Itallian side this morning 66‑3 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome in their last Test Match of the November Internationals.
Jordie Barrett scored four tries through out the game, Damian McKenzie scored a hattrick while TJ Perenara, Ngani Laumape and Beauden Barrett scored a try each.
The ten tries ensured the All Blacks wrapped up 2018 with a 12‑2 record, although last weekend's defeat to Ireland will no doubt still sting as they look ahead to 2019.
As the first half came to an end, the All Blacks were leading 31‑3.
Captain Kieran Read led his side to fire back at those who questioned his captaincy during the week.
In addition to setting Laumape's try up, Read played a hand in the All Blacks' second try, when he put Tuipulotu through a gap, before McKenzie touched down under the sticks.
Meanwhile Italy’s only points came from flyhalf Tommaso Allan in the 12th minute.
