Damian McKenzie contributed 17 points thanks to his effectiveness with the foot.\n\nThis victory extends New Zealand’s winning streak against Wales to 34 matches, a sequence that dates back to 1953. However, the match will be remembered for Rogers’ historic performance.\n\nLouis Rees-Zammit added a late try for the Welsh, and Dan Edwards converted three attempts for the locals, who stayed in the fight, getting to be only 24-21 down at minute 50.\n\nThe match also marked the test match debut of Harri Deaves, Ospreys player, who completed his journey from his job as a roofer.\n\nAfter being defeated by England at Twickenham, which meant the third defeat in eight matches and generated reflection in New Zealand rugby, All Blacks coach Scott Robertson made several changes to the team, including the absence of key figures such as Ardie Savea and Beauden Barrett.\n\nThe selection of Robertson generated accusations that New Zealand was underestimating Wales, but the scoring opened after five minutes.\n\n
