AFP: New Zealand produced a ruthless second-half display to defeat Wales 36-22 in the second Test in Wellington on Saturday and maintain one of world rugby’s longest winning streaks.

The world champions ran in five tries to three to claim the three-Test series with a match to spare and clinch their 28th straight win over Wales, dating back to 1953.

Valiant Wales kept pace with New Zealand for 51 minutes but had no answers when the All Blacks went up a notch, orchestrated by Beauden Barrett and Aaron Smith.

Wales coach Warren Gatland said his side was competitive but a three-try burst early in the second half effectively sealed the result for the New Zealanders.

The third Test is in Dunedin next Saturday.
