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.
