New Zealand’s rugby team, the All Blacks, comfortably handled the Sharks 54-0 in a rain-soaked match at Kings Park in Durban, South Africa.
Match Highlights
The All Blacks started half of their test XV against the weakest of the four provincial sides they face and were too slick for the Sharks on a pitch soaked by heavy rain right up until kickoff.
They scored eight tries, seven converted by Ruben Love, and showed significant improvement in their maul defense, scrum, and discipline.
Test fullback Damian McKenzie hobbled off after scoring a 28th-minute try due to a heavily strapped left ankle he hurt early in the game.
The All Blacks will face the Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday.
