James Lowe and Akira Ioane each scored two tries as the Maori All Blacks demolished the USA Eagles 54‑7 at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The American national team could only manage one try to the Maori's eight.
The Eagles missed an opportunity to open the scoring when captain Todd Clever went for the line with an unmarked player outside him.
The mistake allowed left wing Lowe to be first on the scoreboard in the 10th minute, dotting down in the corner after a surging run and pop pass from number eight Akira Ioane.
Ioane then scored the Maori's second on his own while Lowe scored his second in the 35th minute.
Ahead 28‑0 at half time, the Maori edged further ahead in the 44th minute with Ioane's second.
Ihaia west kicked six conversions and Marty McKenzie one.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks will take on Ireland at 9am tomorrow.
In other test matches, Japan will take on Argentina at 5.40 this afternoon, Wales against the Wallabies at 3.30am tomorrow while the Barbarians will face the Springboks at 4am Sunday.
