Rusty All Blacks thump Fiji
The All Blacks thrashed Fiji 60-14 in the final-ever test match at the beloved Carisbrook in Dunedin.
Played in a half-full stadium, the All Blacks were clinical without being flash as they ran in eight tries to two, in a match also designed to help victims of the Christchurch earthquakes.
In his run-on debut, Colin Slade scored 19 points with a try, four conversions and two penalties in a polished display that would've pushed his case in securing the position as Dan Carter's back-up.
