The All Blacks have beaten Wales 55-23 in a hard fought battle in Cardiff.

The opening match of the All Blacks Northern Tour was very-much dominated by forward play in slippery conditions at the Millenium Stadium.

Wales fought hard to stay in the game in the first-half with the All Blacks heading into half-time with a lead of just ten points.

However, the second-half was a different story with the All Blacks showing off their class and depth to well and truly pull away from the Welsh side.

In a historic night for Aaron Smith, the veteran halfback became the most capped back in All Black's history overtaking Dan Carter's record of 113 caps.
