That rounds things off from Turin, where the All Blacks have crawled to victory. For now, this is Nicholas Friedlander signing out.

That was not the performance the All Blacks wanted to have to finish the season. It was a long season, and the conditions were below freezing, but that would be of real disappointment, as they looked to send off Sam Cane and TJ Perenara on a high. Perhaps in many ways that shows the issue with this test, too much focus on sentimentality, and not enough on picking the best players for this job. They largely looked disinterested, and the execution was just terrible. Wallace Sititi, Ethan de Groot and Asafo Aumua were all fairly good, but outside of that it was grim.

Italy will be thrilled with that. They came into this test on the back of two fairly poor performances, but they clearly channelled that to put in a much-improved performance this evening in the freezing temperatures. They spoiled the breakdown well, and forced several attacking errors out of the visitors, who just were not up to their usual standards. Ange Capuozzo was very strong throughout, making several breaks with his elusive running game. Federico Ruzza was also very strong in the carry. They will be pleased heading towards the Six Nations.

A horror test comes to an end, with the All Blacks crawling to a scrappy victory. Credit must go to the Italians, who upset the visitors rhythm, with spirited defence, and even managed to pinch a late try, one which was very much deserved. Outside of a dominant scrum, it was shocking from the All Blacks, who were sloppy, and were not up to their own standards. They knocked it on, kicked it away, and just generally lacked any sort of accuracy. They will be very disappointed.

Italy bat the ball back at the kickoff, but then cough it up themselves. That will put us all out of our misery.

Barrett pushes it away to the right.

ALL TOO EASY! The All Blacks rumbled into the 22, charging up through Lakai. They eventually looped left where another Barrett grubber was off-target, rolling into touch. Italy elected to go quickly, chipping and chasing from their own line! Barrett gathered on the 22m line, and the whole chase line overran it, leaving Barrett to trot it in down the left sideline!
