Woeful Wales crashed to a record 55-3 defeat against New Zealand as the All Blacks gave them an eight-try mauling at Hamilton's Waikato Stadium.
The loss eclipsed Wales' previous worst result - a 52-3 drubbing in Christchurch 15 years ago - and was their eighth successive Test match reversal, a dismal sequence stretching back seven months.
Wales had no answer to New Zealand's pace and power, with wing Joe Rokocoko's second-half try double leading the charge in a predictable backlash following last weekend's defeat against England.
Doug Howlett, Carlos Spencer, Daniel Carter, Kees Meeuws, Keven Mealamu and Tana Umaga also touched down, while debutant goalkicker Carter finished with 20 points.
And to complete a night of Welsh misery, they saw number eight Colin Charvis stretchered off with his neck in a brace.
Charvis, who was taken to hospital for precautionary checks following his first-half departure, found himself on the receiving end of a crunching tackle from All Blacks back-row forward Jerry Collins.
All Blacks centre Umaga stayed with a struggling Charvis as play moved upfield, removing his gumshield before the former Wales captain received expert medical attention.
As they did against world champions Australia last weekend, Wales dominated possession and territory early on, but their only points came through a Stephen Jones penalty.
A much-changed All Blacks side predictably took time to settle, yet once they surged ahead midway through the first period, there was no stopping them.
Howlett rounded off a crisp handling move on 21 minutes, then Spencer completed further impressive approach work by the New Zealand forwards, whose pick-and-drive movement buckled a stretched Welsh defence . With Charvis out of the action and skipper Martyn Williams requiring stitches in a facial cut, Wales' early momentum evaporated as New Zealand took charge to build an unassailable 17-3 interval lead.
Carter's try within five minutes of the restart - he was assisted by a weak tackle from Wales centre Mark Taylor - finished Wales off, meaning nothing more than a damage-limitation exercise for the brave, but limited, tourists.
Prop Meeuws powered over for his sixth Test try, then hooker Mealamu followed suit from close range as New Zealand ruthlessly picked off their outclassed opponents.
And there was worse to come, with Umaga and Rokocoko - twice - inflicting further blows on shattered Welsh pride.
