The All Blacks have finished their last test of the season with a messy win, 29:11 over Italy.
They went into Sunday's game as overwhelming favourites, thanks to a very strong team named by Scott Robertson. However, the weather in Turin was very cold, with a chance of snow, and there was speculation that could affect their play.
The start saw plenty of penalties blown by the ABs, which set the tone for a dour, underwhelming run through the rest of the game.
Kick-off was at 9.10am (NZT).
