Match Summary:
The final match between New Zealand and Wales was a gripping affair, with the match in the balance for most of the second half before the Kiwis crossed for three late tries to come away with a 28-10 victory.
With the scores locked at 8-all at the main break, New Zealand grabbed an early ascendancy through a try to fullback Scott Hurrell, but their electric backline was kept in check by some committed Welsh defence.
But the power of the Kiwis saw them finish the stronger team, with Danny Maera, Laupepa Pasene and Rema Smith all crossing in the final ten minutes to complete a convincing six tries to two victory.
