Namibia battled and matched the All Blacks early on and New Zealand led only 10-9 after half an hour before stepping up their game to break clear and run in 11 tries as they won the last 50 minutes 61-0.<\/p>\n
Sevu Reece, Anton Lienert-Brown and Ben Smith all crossed for a pair of tries, with Angus Ta\u2019ava, Joe Moody, Sam Whitelock, Jordie Barrett and TJ Perenara also touching down.<\/p>\n
Barrett added eight conversions for a personal haul of 21 points.<\/p>\n
Damian Stevens kicked Namibia into an early lead with a penalty for hands in the ruck before New Zealand scored their first try after five minutes.<\/p>\n
Barrett\u2019s cross-field kick was collected by Reece to go in on the right and they went over again midway through the half through Lienert-Brown, who stretched clear of the Namibian defense to touch down.<\/p>\n
The Welwitschias continued to battle and compete with the All Blacks and came back to within a point through a pair of Stevens penalties.<\/p>\n
New Zealand were reduced to 14 men when prop Nepo Laulala was sent to the sin-bin after making contact with the head of JC Greyling in the tackle.<\/p>\n
Prop Ta\u2019avao went over under the posts for his first Test try with Barrett converting.<\/p>\n
The bonus point was secured when Smith powered over after a dominating scrum when Jack Goodhue popped the ball up to him to send the All Blacks into the break with a 24-9 lead.<\/p>\n
New Zealand broke the game open after the interval with seven more tries.<\/p>\n
Moody went over on the right after another domination scrum and Barrett sent over his third conversion.<\/p>\n
Lienert-Brown claimed his second try of the game after Barrett weaved his way through a series of Namibian tackles and spun the ball wide for him to touch down.<\/p>\n
Reece capped a textbook All Blacks move as they spun the ball wide for the speedy winger to go in.<\/p>\n
Captain Whitelock then made it four tries in 16 minutes since half-time when he scored at the base of the upright from another powerful forward surge.<\/p>\n
Smith went over for his second try of the game 13 minutes from the end as quick hands kept the ball alive and the full-back crashed over in the corner.<\/p>\n
Ofa Tuungafasi became the second New Zealander to be sent to the sin-bin eight minutes from time for a swinging arm to the head in the tackle.<\/p>\n
Barrett crossed for the 10th try as New Zealand surged forward after a line-out before Perenara wrapped it up with a stunning effort after picking up a behind the back pass from Brad Weber and surging through three tackles to brilliantly touch down in the corner.<\/p>\n
