Victor Vito led the All Black pack at the breakdown being in the first three to arrive on 26 occasions. He was backed up by fellow forwards Andrew Hore and Sam Whitelock who were hot on his heels with 25 arrivals each, and Ali Williams with 24 arrivals.

Adam Kleeberger, the Canadian blindside flanker, topped the tackle stats in this match with a staggering 22 before he left the field following a nasty head clash with Tony Woodcock in the 77th minute.

Top tackler for the All Blacks was Sonny Bill Williams with 10, followed by Kieran Read and Jerome Kaino with nine tackles each.

Zac Guildford scored four tries in this game, made two linebreaks and with a total of 222 metres he topped the stats for total ground made.

The All Blacks made 10 linebreaks in this game and scored tries from five of them. Sonny Bill Williams made the most linebreaks with three, followed by Guildford, Colin Slade and Conrad Smith who all made two each.

Top ball carrier for the All Blacks was Jerome Kaino with a total of 12 for 95 metres gained. Victor Vito was next best with 11 carries for 85 metres, then Sam Whitelock with eight carries for 36 metres.

Canada's No 8 Aaron Carpenter was top ball carrier in this match with 11 carries for a total of 65 metres of ground gained.

The All Blacks won three tightheads off the Canadian scrum, and it was also the first game of this tournament they haven't conceded any scrum penalties.

There were only 10 penalties awarded in this match, the All Blacks conceding just four while Canada's six was also the lowest they have conceded all tournament.

The All Blacks became the only team in Rugby World Cup 2011 to take maximum points from all four pool games, to finish top of Pool A on 20 points.

THE GOOD

The All Blacks won all 10 of their own lineouts, and stole two of Canada's throws.

Kieran Read played 50 minutes of rugby in his first game of the tournament, and made eight ball carries for 35 metres gained plus nine completed tackles.

When Piri Weepu took over the goal kicking he landed all four of his attempts, including the first one from the sideline.

Jerome Kaino's second try of the game came from a well controlled pushover from an attacking five-metre scrum.

THE BAD

The All Blacks knocked the ball on 13 times in their total of 20 turnovers during the game, with Ali Williams the worst culprit contributing three to that tally.

They also conceded three turnovers at the breakdown, and managed to win only one breakdown turnover off Canada.

Colin Slade could only land five from nine attempts at goal, giving him a 55 percent success rate.

The All Blacks conceded tries either side of half time, the first coming from an inability to number up correctly from a second phase play following a Canadian five-metre attacking scrum while the second was due to a wayward pass by Jimmy Cowan.

FOR THE RECORD

Graham Henry became the first person to coach in 100 Tests for a major nation in the professional era.

Jimmy Cowan became the 41st All Black to play 50 Tests.

Conor Trainor became the first Canadian to score more than eight points against New Zealand, scoring tries either side of half time for a personal tally of 10 points.

Canada finished their tournament with five players in their squad who did not play at Rugby World Cup 2011.

Victor Vito scored his first try for the All Blacks playing at openside flanker. His second try, the last of the game, was scored playing as a winger due to the All Blacks running out of reserve backs.

Israel Dagg has scored a try in every game he has played (three) so far in this tournament.
