Match Commentary
This likely should be a straightforward affair for the All Blacks, who have defeated Canada in all five Tests between the teams, including three Rugby World Cup matches. Only once have the three-time champions chasing a hat-trick of titles failed to post at least 60 points, or win by 50+ points; that came in the first fixture between the teams, when they won 29-13 in Lille at Rugby World Cup 1991. The teams last faced each other at the 2011 Rugby World Cup, in New Zealand, where the All Blacks won 79-15.
