New Zealand made to work to beat Namibia
Beauden Barrett got the All Blacks going with a penalty four minutes in and they had their first try one minute later in with No.8 Victor Vito going over.
Milner-Skudder scored his first soon after for a 15-0 lead but Theuns Kotze put Namibia on the board with a penalty.
Malakai Fekitoa was next to cross the whitewash and, despite another penalty from Kotze, the bonus points was in the bag when Barrett ran in under the post on the half-hour.
He converted and just before the break Milner-Skudder got his second to make it 34-6 at half-time.
Kotze kicked his third penalty of the game early in the second half but New Zealand quickly had their sixth try with Savea powering over.
The game was long lost for Namibia but they didn’t stop playing and it paid off with 30 minutes left when centre Johan Deysel barged through three defenders to score a popular try.
Ben Smith came off the bench and quickly got his name on the scoresheet before Savea’s second try saw the All Blacks break the 50-point barrier with five minutes to go.
There was still time for one last effort though as Codie Taylor galloped over being set up by man of the match Milner-Sukker.
