A rampant first-half display led New Zealand to a 36-13 win over England on Saturday, with Steve Hansen's side capping off a dominant 3-0 Test series triumph in Hamilton.

The All Blacks eased off the gas slightly in the second period, but a vintage opening 40 minutes of forward-thinking rugby filled with stellar support play laid the base for England's thumping, confirmed by The Guardian:

That being said, the Harlequins-bound star did show his defensive weaknesses against Cory Jane, again pointed out by Coles, with a chunk of the All Blacks' yardage being clocked up down Yarde's flank:



The All Blacks' thirst for points was perfectly summed up after the final whistle, though, where instead of calling time on proceedings, Hansen's men insisted on running the ball, resulting in a stoppage-time try from Savea, sealing his hat-trick.

Aaron Smith scored the home team's other two tries, capitalising on breaks from Jane and Ben Smith, each of whom assisted two scores and made a collective 181 metres with ball in hand, per ESPN Scrum.
