New Zealand ran in an eight-try blitz without conceding as they romped to an emphatic 54-0 win over the Sharks on Tuesday in the second game of their South African tour.
It was a much more convincing performance after Friday’s opener against the Stormers in Cape Town in which their forwards struggled before they scored late tries to win 38-21.
The Sharks, who fielded a youthful line-up and had none of their current internationals available, showed early promise and held out until the 19th minute when the All Blacks went over on the short side for the opening try.
The Sharks put on 44-year-old former All Black Ma’a Nonu for the last 20 minutes after he recently joined the provincial side in a leadership and mentorship capacity.
