New Zealand stormed to their 50th win at the Rugby World Cup, running in 11 tries to thrash Namibia 71-3, but lost Ethan de Groot to a late red card for a dangerous collision.

De Groot was given a yellow card for a high tackle on Adriaan Booysen inside the final 10 minutes with a 'bunker' review upgrading it to a red.

The All Backs had recorded a bonus-point fourth try inside 25 minutes.

They led 38-3 at half-time as Damien McKenzie and Man of the Match Cam Roigard crossed twice.

Leicester Fainga'anuku, Anton Lienert-Brown, Ethan De Groot, Dalton Papalii, David Havili, Caleb Clarke and Rieko Ioane.

In other matches tomorrow, Samoa takes on Chile at 1am, Wales takes on Portugal at 3.45am while Ireland takes on Tonga at 7am.
