Beauden, Scott and Jordie Barrett celebrated becoming the first trio of All Blacks brothers to start a Rugby World Cup Test in style against Canada last night, with each scoring a try in the 63-0 win.

The Barretts are the second trio of brothers to play in the Rugby World Cup after the Vunipola brothers of Tonga in 1995.

Veteran midfielder Sonny Bill Williams shone in the contest as well, scoring a try of his own while setting up multiple tries with his offloading and on-point kicking game.

Williams was subbed early in the second half for Ben Smith which saw Rieko Ioane shift to the centres with Jack Goodhue previously subbed for Ryan Crotty.

The All Blacks dominated the contest from start to finish, making their presence known early when their scrum on Canada's 5m line led to a penalty try in the fourth minute.

In another match last night, France beat USA 33-9.
