New Zealand v Italy live: All Blacks bid to keep Rugby World Cup dream alive with win over Azzurri

Monty Ioane flies over the try line in the corner. Not sure if he made it, but the TMO seems to think so. Italy with their second try of an abject evening. It finishes 96-17 to New Zealand, who are surely heading for the last eight of this tournament.

How they recover from this mauling to face France on Thursday is anybody's guess. Win or bust for them in that match, but the hangover from this filleting will linger for a while.

Surely on the cards now as Anton Lienert-Brown races through the broken white lines of the Italy defence. Cam Roigard with the offload for Brown to go over. 96-10. Running some wonderful lines.

A punishing evening for Italy as Coles is on hand to nudge the ball over the try line. Up to 89-10 with McKenzie adding the conversion.

Could yet be on the cards as the ball bounces kindly before Jordan snatches the ball cleanly to ease over for another try after being set up by Savea. And McKenzie with the conversion. 82-10 we reach.

Damian McKenzie going backwards towards the Italy try line before he spins off the Beauden Barrett pass to get the ball down. And that is just the job for New Zealand. Up to 75-10 at McKenzie adds the conversion.

Destroying Italy at the scrum. So many options for New Zealand this evening after Mark Telea shows his class to hold up an Italian attack and earn his side vital ball at the scrum.

All Blacks enjoying themselves from first to last tonight. Sam Cane set up Coles for his try and is wanting to show off his ball handling skills whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Just chasing shadows all night long. This time it is Dane Coles who excites the New Zealand fans by eluding his markers to scurry up the line apparently from nowhere for another try. No conversion for once this evening. 68-10 now.

A proud moment for Whitelock this evening.

Another All Black try! Italy's set-piece collapses at the line-out as ball evades all the white shirts, and the move ends with Dalton Papali'i finishing off another sweeping move. A 63-10 lead for the All Blacks!

Cam Roigard rolling across the ground to reach the Italian line and the referee deems that illegal use of his body to gain momentum. A let-off for the Azzurri.

The big lock is on for cap 149 for his country, ovetaking Richie McCaw's appearance record for the All Blacks.

Italy were still celebrating their score when New Zealand decide to add another seven points of their own. Retallick with the try this time after Page-Relo’s kick is charged down. Conversion is added too. 56-8 now.

Superb from the Azzurri! Cannone wins a key line-out before Monty Ioane picks out Ange Capuozzo on the move and he races for the line before powering over for their first try of the night. Tommaso Allan with the conversion and it is 49-10.

In every sense. Look at this attempt to catch the ball from Codie Taylor. Glorious level of commitment.

An All Black is deemed to be offside! And Italy will benefit from that decision as they rumble into the New Zealand half. For a change.

All Blacks scored 51 points against Italy in the first half of that 101-3 win in 1999. 49 tonight. Not tracking too far off that thumping.

Ardie Savea with the try coming off the back of the maul after more line-out joy from the incessant New Zealand pressure. Mo'unga pops over the conversion, seven from seven, and that is a 49-3 lead for the All Blacks. And that is the end of the first period after 45 minutes of one-way traffic.
