New Zealand rack up 14 tries in 96-17 demolition of Italy

New Zealand sealed their place in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals with a 73-0 bonus-point victory in their final pool game against Uruguay.

A hat-trick from Leicester Fainga’anuku led the way for the All Blacks, who overcame a sticky start to display their attacking firepower again to produce another sizeable scoreline.

Their final place in the pool will depend on France’s final Pool A fixture against Italy in Lyon tomorrow.

The hosts will top the group with a win of any kind, while the Azzurri could also force their way into the last eight with an upset win.

For Uruguay, though, this is the end of the road, though Los Teros again gave a good account of themselves in their first ever meeting with the All Blacks to cap an encouraging tournament in which the South Americans have pushed for more opportunities against the world’s top rugby nations.
