The All Blacks have bounced back from their first Rugby World Cup pool play defeat to thrash Namibia 71-3 in Toulouse this morning.

Halfback Cameron Roigard and first five-eighth Damian McKenzie both impressed after giving starts but the victory could be overshadowed by a red card to prop Ethan de Groot who faces a suspension.

The All Blacks crossed over 11 times with Roigard and McKenzie getting doubles. De Groot came off the bench and scored with his first touch but was then yellow carded for a high tackle which was later upgraded to red.
