49 minutes
Ryan Crotty nearly wriggles away straight from the kick-off as New Zealand play and play.
TRY! Canada torn apart once more!
A brilliant high take from Richie Mo'unga, a sliver of space for Beauden Barrett to get through, pace to get away from the defence and a simple pass into the hands of Brad Weber for the score.
New Zealand 56-0 Canada
The switch has been flicked and this is getting rather ugly. Ben Smith is on for New Zealand.
53 minutes
Canada leave themselves exposed to a counter-ruck wide on the right, but New Zealand, perhaps keen to remind themselves what defence actually is, opt not to attack it, and set their line for the next phase.
New Zealand knock on in their attempts to make a big midfield hit.
54 minutes
Ryan Crotty rides up high int the tackle. Just a penalty.
55 minutes
And New Zealand of course win the resulting five metre lineout. Scott Barrett has been commanding in the air, particularly defensively.
TRY! Brad Weber's over again!
Set-piece move from a scrum, Jordie Barrett off it as first receiver, switch ball for Richie Mo'unga to get through a gap between the scrum-half and the openside flanker slow off a creaking Canadian scrum.
Offload to Weber, plenty of toe from the diminutive nine, try for New Zealand.
New Zealand 63-0 Canada
