New Zealand became the sixth team to break the 100 point barrier in a World Cup game by outclassing plucky Portugal 108-13 in a Pool C mismatch in Lyon on Saturday.

The All Blacks, the tournament favourites, ran in 16 tries in all, with Joe Rokocoko, Aaron Mauger and Conrad Smith all grabbing doubles.

It was the fourth highest total scored by a team in the competition, but Portugal will be heartened by the fact they at least troubled the scorers in a backs-to-the-wall effort at the Stade Gerland.
