ROME (AP) — New Zealand struggled early on against Italy in former All Black Kieran Crowley’s debut as Azzurri coach before racking up a number of world records in a 47-9 win in Rome. It took New Zealand until the 28th minute to get the scoreboard going but tries from Finlay Christie and two from Dane Coles gave it a 21-6 halftime lead before further tries from Sevu Reece, Hoskins Sotutu and two for replacement hooker Asafo Aumua. The All Blacks set records for the most tries scored in a calendar year and the most points.
