The All Blacks defied overwhelming Welsh possession and territory to lead at half-time thanks to two tries by wing Waisake Naholo. Then two in six minutes for Anton Lienert-Brown and Rieko Ioane opened a 15-point gap. Wales scored through Scott Williams and Gareth Davies, but Ioane's second touchdown ended a late fight-back. [LIST] [*][URL='http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/41454970'][U]BBC Sport's coverage of the autumn Tests [/U][/URL] [*]Get all the latest news by adding [URL='http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/34015470'][U]rugby union alerts[/U][/URL] in the BBC Sport app [/LIST] Warren Gatland's team showed more signs of promise, but were not able to end their 64-year wait for a win over the All Blacks. They simply could not match the cutting edge New Zealand showed whenever they caught a whiff of the home team's tryline. The difference was exemplified late in the game after Davies claimed Wales' second try, as the visitors hit back after Ioane's interception try had silenced a rowdy home crowd. [IMG]https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/624/cpsprodpb/A96D/production/_98937334_garethdavies_pa.jpg[/IMG] Gareth Davies's second-half try hinted at a Welsh comeback before New Zealand stretched away Reduced to 14 men with lock Sam Whitelock in the sin-bin, New Zealand fashioned a sharp backs move which saw Ioane cut through to snuff out any lingering home hopes. Looking ahead Wales can point to fine performances from prop Rob Evans and flankers Josh Navidi and Aaron Shingler. But when it came to turning promise into points, New Zealand were in a different class. While the All Blacks head for the beach, Wales have to raise themselves for the visit of South Africa next Saturday. They will face the Springboks without second row Jake Ball who has a suspected dislocated shoulder, while scrum-half Rhys Webb staggered off in the opening 10 minutes after taking a blow to the head to be replaced by Davies. [SIZE=4][B]Possession, not points[/B][/SIZE] Wales had the ball almost 70% of the time, but with a minute to go before the interval had only Leigh Halfpenny's two penalties to show for their efforts. New Zealand's two forays into the Wales 22 yielded two tries for right wing Naholo - the first after Ioane's midfield burst and the second after scrum-half Aaron Smith took a quick penalty. The balance on the scoreboard changed on the stroke of half-time when Wales' stuttering lineout finally functioned and fly-half Dan Biggar and wing Hallam Amos combined to send Scott Williams over in the left corner. If they had matched New Zealand's clinical finishing Wales would have been out of sight after 40 minutes. Instead, they trailed by a point and two more interventions by Ioane turned that deficit into 15 points just after the hour. His burst and slip pass put replacement Lienert-Brown over after Amos was caught defending a little narrow, and then Ioane snatched Biggar's pass intended for Amos to sprint clear and effectively end Welsh hopes. [SIZE=4][B]Man of the match[/B][/SIZE] [IMG]https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/624/cpsprodpb/0D2D/production/_98937330_riekoioane_get.jpg[/IMG] Wing Rieko Ioane was an outstanding performer for New Zealand in Cardiff Rieko Ioane - the Blues wing played a big hand in Naholo's first try and made Lienert-Brown's.
