New Zealand overwhelmed Japan with a commanding performance, finishing the match 64-19. Japan started strong with a try from Naikabula, converted by Tatekawa, but New Zealand quickly responded with multiple tries, including efforts from Tele'a and Tuipulotu. McKenzie showcased his kicking prowess, converting all but one of New Zealand's tries. Japan managed to score two additional tries through Makisi and Helu, but they struggled to maintain consistent pressure. The All Blacks' forwards, including Cane and Finau, dominated the set pieces, leading to several scoring opportunities. In the second half, Roigard and Love added to New Zealand's tally, displaying their attacking depth. Overall, New Zealand's clinical execution and strong defense proved too much for Japan to handle.
