All Blacks Beat Wales 52-26, Streak Reaches 34

New Zealand's All Blacks secured a 52-26 victory over Wales at Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday, extending their unbeaten streak against the hosts to 34 matches since 1953. The win, in the final fixture of the All Blacks' end-of-year tour, came despite a spirited performance from Wales, highlighted by winger Tom Rogers' historic hat-trick of tries.

The match began with New Zealand asserting early dominance, as winger Caleb Clarke crossed for the opening try in the fifth minute after a slick pass from fullback Ruben Love. Flyhalf Damian McKenzie converted and later added a penalty to give the visitors a 10-0 lead. Wales responded swiftly, with Rogers scooping up a loose pass from flyhalf Dan Edwards to score and convert his first try, narrowing the gap to 10-7.

The first half remained competitive, turning into a midfield battle before Love broke through two defenders for New Zealand's second try, which McKenzie converted. Edwards and centre Max Llewellyn combined to send Rogers over for his second, keeping Wales within three points at 17-14. Prop Tamaiti Williams then powered over from close range just before halftime, restoring New Zealand's 10-point advantage at 24-14.
