Wales 26-52 New Zealand result - All Blacks run in seven tries to seal big Quilter Nations Series win in Cardiff

Tries from Caleb Clarke (2), Ruben Love, Tamaiti Williams, Rieko Ioane and Sevu Reece (2) saw the All Blacks eventually ease past a determined Welsh side.

Wales pegged back the Kiwis three times thanks to a Tom Rogers hat-trick before the New Zealand attack overcame the Welsh defence in the second half.

New Zealand started the better and took an early lead through Clarke after five minutes before Rogers replied after 10 minutes.

The visitors re-took the lead through a Damian McKenzie penalty before Ruben Love danced through the Welsh defence for a try in the 29th minute.

Once again, Rogers responded for the hosts with his second try four minutes later. However, there was no time for a response after Williams scored in the 37th minute.

Wales came out fast after the break as Rogers completed his history-making hat-trick.

But the Kiwis came back with purpose and scored tries through Ioane and Reece, while Gareth Thomas and Taine Plumtree were sin-binned.

A late rally from Wales saw Louis Rees-Zammit score a spectacular try in the 76th minute to help his side score more than 25 points against New Zealand for the first time.

However, Clarke scored a final try after 79 minutes as the visitors managed to score 50 points for the first time on their Northern Hemisphere tour.

For Wales, they were always underdogs in this one but they gave as good as they got for large parts of the match.

They face South Africa next in what will be another hard-fought game but the side will take a lot of joy in the number of debuts that were given out this afternoon.

Meanwhile, for New Zealand, they end 2025 with a fantastic win after a defeat last week to England that saw many raise question marks over them.

Listen to the former Welsh fly-half on how Wales are progressing as a nation.

Today's player of the match Wallace Sititi has hit back after the Kiwi's were criticsed after their England loss last week.

"We had a tough week last week, obviously. We didn't get what we wanted in terms of a Grand Slam, but it was important for us to come here and put on a performance we can be proud of, for our family back home, for the country that's supporting us, and also for ourselves. We're happy with that. We'll take that win against this tough Welsh team, who've shown up. Credit to our support back home, hopefully they enjoyed that one.

"They're a strong outfit. We know when teams play us, they're always going to bring their best. We had to front up. Just like any Test match, it's going to get close. Just happy we were able to bring it in.

"But we're gonna put on a performance we can be proud of, we're going to work hard for each other, work hard for our family, and we're going to go out there and try our best no matter what."

We'll have you across all of the post-match reaction including the thoughts of both sides.
