All Blacks score a century against depleted Tonga
New Zealand ran in 16 tries in a 102-0 demolition of Tonga on Saturday.
Will Jordan helped himself to a five-try haul, while scrum-half Brad Weber ran in a hat-trick as an All Blacks side reached a century of points for the sixth time in its history.
It is the only team to have achieved the feat more than once and it was the second time Tonga has found itself on the receiving end.
Damian McKenzie got the scoring underway with a second-minute try and the full-back went on to claim three assists as nine All Blacks crossed overall.
Dalton Papalii's first-half double, along with Jordan and Weber getting into their work meant it was 43-0 at half-time and worse was to follow for the visitors, who were without the bulk of their northern hemisphere players because of COVID-19 travel restrictions and named 13 debutants.
Luke Jacobson, Richie Mo'unga, Rieko Ioane and Patrick Tuipulotu all got in on the act in the second half, marking an emphatic start to their 2021 schedule having won only half of their six 2020 outings.
Mo'unga landed seven conversions before making way for Beauden Barrett, back from his sabbatical in Japan.
Barrett added the extra for a fourth and final time after the hooter when George Bridge compounded Tonga's misery by bringing up three figures – his try a reward for a tireless performance where the wing made seven clean breaks.
