DUNEDIN, New Zealand (AP) " Flyhalf Beauden Barrett scored two tries and 26 points as New Zealand crushed Wales 46-6 in the 3rd rugby test on Saturday to sweep the three-match series 3-0. Hooker Dane Coles also scored tries as Wales weakened and eventually buckled, as was expected, at the end of a tiring series and exhausting season. New Zealand won the first test 39-21 and the second 36-22, in each match overrunning Wales late, after tight first halves. Wales had nothing left to throw at the All Blacks and, while it defended with determination, the score mounted steadily throughout the second half. The 25-year-old Moala, auditioning for a permanent role in the New Zealand midfield, repeatedly split open the Wales backline defense in the first half.
