HIGHLIGHTS | NEW ZEALAND v FIJI | July Internationals 2024

San Diego, Southern California. It has a special place in New Zealand's sporting history. It's where the America's Cup became New Zealand's Cup. Now for the first time in 44 years, the All Blacks have sailed into this beautiful city to take on the Flying Fijians. Now Al Moua out the back. McKenzie, little show of the ball. It's on now for the All Blacks. Caleb Clarke. And after eight minutes, the All Blacks hit the lead. Ratima sends it away once again. The target at first receiver is Anton Leonard-Brown. And look at that carry from Ratima. He has a go. He's over. McKenzie from close range converts. And the All Blacks out to 14 to nil. He's taken just inside the 22. Armstrong Rivula tries another kick out to the wing. That's a better one. Right on the money for Andrandra. Sends it back in field. And Butitu scores. Wow, there you see it. Now Al Moua goes hard at them. Referees playing advantage again here for the All Blacks. Ratima. Black at it. Now McKenzie. Numbers. And Broughton for a try in his first Test match. Got Newell with him. Al Moua charges at the line. He stopped just a metre short. They peel away to the left. Savi is there. Adi Savi. And strikes it nicely. Quickhands could make a try. Going in at the corner. Wayne Ngolo. They'll have to check. Yeah, he's lost it. OK, Matt, so I'm coming back to you with a decision. Yeah, no problem. There's separation and no press. So there is a knock-on in goal. Goal line drop out. OK, there's separation and no press. There's a knock-on in goal. And to Mighty Williams. He secures it. And Matthew Carley of England says that's half time. So an entertaining first half in which the All Blacks have scored four tries. Fiji have won. They've had their moments. But at the break, it's the All Blacks over Fiji by 26-5 in San Diego. Hotham sends it back the other way. Got the call from McKenzie. Leonard Brown quickly through the hands. And Severus is in for another try. Simple skills done well by the All Blacks. And it's a good-looking kick too. Damian McKenzie nails another two. Hotham to Newell. McKenzie got absolutely smashed as he got the ball away. But get it away he did. And Kayla Clark with the in and out is in for another one. Oh, brave. Oh, here we go. Reviewing? Yes, please. Another forensic search for reasons not to award tries. So he's not in the ruck. And then he's tackled to the floor there. Tackled to the floor. And they run through that space. Correct. OK, so it's no try. This is an obstruction. And back for the penalty. Quick movement of the ball. The All Blacks are now breaking through. On debut is Passi Leotosi. Gets it back to Satiti. He's stopped just a metre short of the line. And De Groot is in. 10 short. All Blacks pressing Bell with the carry. Clark having another go for the line. Stopped by Bottito. Just a couple of metres away now. He's in. On debut. It's a try to George Bell. Oh, he's got the angle right though. Here's an end to the scrump. He's had a pretty good game too, the referee. And now the players to express themselves. And he blows his whistle to end the game. So the All Blacks, their trip to San Diego has been a success. Drawn a crowd of around 30,000. Have entertained them. So too have the flying Fijians. But in the end, it's the All Blacks. Seven tries to one. Who win it by 47-5.
