New Zealand rally late to beat Wales in Cardiff

New Zealand eventually prove too strong for Wales, scoring three tries in the final 10 minutes to win 34-16 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

New Zealand's power proved too much for Wales to handle as the All Blacks scored three tries in the final 10 minutes to win 34-16 at the Millennium Stadium.

The two sides were level at just three points apiece after a low-scoring first half, but the second was much more open in Cardiff.

It took New Zealand just a couple of minutes of the second period to score the first try as Julian Savea used his monstrous frame to bully himself over the line in the corner.

Wales responded almost instantly through scrum-half Rhys Webb, who collected an offload from Taulupe Faletau before scoring.

A pair of penalties from Leigh Halfpenny either side of an unconverted Jerome Kaino try put the home side a point in front, but that was as good as it got.

Two tries from Beauden Barrett, and another from Kieran Read in the final 10 minutes, saw New Zealand end on a 19-0 run to claim another victory in the Autumn Internationals.

For Wales, it is the 22nd consecutive game that they have lost against one of the Southern Hemisphere's big three - New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
