TURIN, Italy (Reuters) -New Zealand laboured to a 29-11 win over a brave, battling Italy on Saturday as the All Blacks wrapped up their autumn series with a less than impressive victory where the anticipated try-fest failed to materialise.
The visitors had been expected to take out their disappointment from the loss to France last weekend on an Italian side which had struggled in recent games, losing heavily to Argentina and getting a comeback win over Georgia.
