DUNEDIN, New Zealand (AP) — Flyhalf Beauden Barrett scored two tries and 26 points as New Zealand crushed Wales 46-6 in the 3rd rugby test on Saturday to sweep the three-match series 3-0. Rookie center George Moala had a try disallowed but immediately scored another which showcased the best of All Blacks rugby as New Zealand preserved a 63-year winning streak against Wales. The 25-year-old Moala, auditioning for a permanent role in the New Zealand midfield, repeatedly split open the Wales backline defense in the first half. Barrett scored two second half tries, running through his opposite Dan Biggar on both occasions, and kicked five conversions and two penalties while Smith, likely the best fullback in the world, looked the best wing with New Zealand's first try. The hosts were determined on Saturday to settle the issue, taking the match out of Wales' grasp earlier and did so, scoring two unanswered tries to lead 18-6 at halftime. Barrett scored the first of his two tries immediately after halftime, acting as first receiver from a five-meter scrum and simply driving through Biggar to reach the line.
