In an international friendly at the Principality Stadium, New Zealand showcased their strength with a commanding 52-26 victory over Wales. Caleb Clarke opened the scoring for the visitors with a try in the fourth minute, quickly followed by a conversion from Damian McKenzie. Wales responded well with two tries from Tom Rogers, but they struggled to contain New Zealand's potent attack. McKenzie continued to influence the game, adding multiple conversions and a penalty, while the All Blacks secured tries from Ruben Love and Rieko Ioane. The match saw Wales contend bravely, with Louis Rees-Zammit scoring late to add some respectability to the scoreline. However, two yellow cards for Wales harmed their chances of mounting a comeback. Overall, New Zealand's clinical finishing and strong forward play proved too much for the home side.
