Wales v New Zealand

0:00:52 > 0:01:01From the earliest recording... To the quick, quick, slow... The Haka

0:01:01 > 0:01:10has come with the All Blacks. Some versions more menacing than others.

0:01:10 > 0:01:25And then came Wayne "Buck" Shelfodrd, and the message became

0:01:25 > 0:01:32clear... -- "Buck" Shelford. This was the Haka that was preparation.

0:01:32 > 0:01:38And as the Haka became more openly hostile, the question became, what

0:01:38 > 0:01:46do you do as the team that must face this challenge? Advance on it? Bring

0:01:46 > 0:01:58it on? Stare it down? Don't be the first to blink?

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Ready?

0:02:05 > 0:02:07You'd better be.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Black Friday becomes All Black Saturday, a last run out this year

0:02:15 > 0:02:20for one of the world's most famous sports teams and brands, but with

0:02:20 > 0:02:24words like vulnerable and beatable being used by their opponents

0:02:24 > 0:02:27instead of untouchable and unstoppable, so can Wales achieved

0:02:27 > 0:02:30to date what Scotland came close to managing last week and turn the

0:02:30 > 0:02:35history books on their heads? It is 64 years since the last Welsh

0:02:35 > 0:02:40victory and a win today would crowd an extraordinary year against New

0:02:40 > 0:02:49Zealand for the Wales coach Warren Gatland who can perhaps be

0:02:49 > 0:02:51encouraged by the words of All Black counterpart Steve Hansen, history is

0:02:51 > 0:02:54like a drought, every day you get closer to it raining. STUDIO: It has

0:02:54 > 0:02:59been the most perfect winter 's day in Cardiff, not a raindrop in sight

0:02:59 > 0:03:02but the entire Welsh nation hoping metaphorically the heavens open on

0:03:02 > 0:03:07the pitch today and produce a first win since in a very royal week,

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Coronation year, and if Wales managed best night it will be a real

0:03:11 > 0:03:15I was there moment for our quartet of great players lined up in our

0:03:15 > 0:03:20podium above the pitch, Martyn Williams, 100 Wales caps, Jeremy

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Guscott, impartial voice of reason in the middle, Sam Warburton who

0:03:23 > 0:03:27would love to be playing but is injured, Welsh captain, and Doug

0:03:27 > 0:03:32Howlett record All Blacks try scorer. Sam, you are the most recent

0:03:32 > 0:03:36person to face the Haka, do you have a general approach to it?I think

0:03:36 > 0:03:42when it is off the field, when we have welcomes by a school or

0:03:42 > 0:03:46something, I take it more personal when it is not in the rugby

0:03:46 > 0:03:49environment, but in a game you have to take the emotion, as a captain I

0:03:49 > 0:03:53would rather the players be focused on their first job, whether

0:03:53 > 0:03:57receiving or taking kick up. I think it is so effective for the All

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Blacks because of the teams do their own version of it but because the

0:04:00 > 0:04:05All Blacks back it up again and again, that's why I think it is such

0:04:05 > 0:04:09a theatrical moment in Rugby. It is hard to give it the big one back and

0:04:09 > 0:04:12we haven't won for 64 years so be respectful at this moment and focus

0:04:12 > 0:04:17on the first job of the match.It's amazing how it has transformed from

0:04:17 > 0:04:23the Morris dancing era to what it is now. How important was it to you?I

0:04:23 > 0:04:29guess I piggyback on some's comments around... Having toured New Zealand

0:04:29 > 0:04:33everybody does Haka, schools do it, the New Zealand Army have one and

0:04:33 > 0:04:38the All Blacks are probably the most prominent in that we have a global

0:04:38 > 0:04:45stage to it. "Buck" Shelford was funny the first person who brought

0:04:45 > 0:04:50meaning to the Haka, honouring the legacy, the 100 years of All Blacks

0:04:50 > 0:04:54players before you, but also it's your turn, your time, live a bit of

0:04:54 > 0:04:58-- leave a bit of yourself in this and prepare for the match.I hadn't

0:04:58 > 0:05:02realised, I looked it up today, the first time back was used in this

0:05:02 > 0:05:06country was at Blackheath in 1905 and here we are a century and more

0:05:06 > 0:05:12on. It would be spectacular theatre here in about 20 minutes. Martyn

0:05:12 > 0:05:13on. It would be spectacular theatre here in about 20 minutes. Martyn,

0:05:13 > 0:05:17you were a catalyst for one of the most famous facing down of the Haka

0:05:17 > 0:05:22in history.In 2008 I remember the conversation vividly with Warren

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Gatland's first game against New Zealand and he wanted us to do

0:05:25 > 0:05:30something rather than just stand there, and it was brilliant theatre,

0:05:30 > 0:05:34the stand-off, it was special. We didn't expect this to happen, I

0:05:34 > 0:05:38don't think New Zealand expected it. In the past they have done it in the

0:05:38 > 0:05:41changing rooms in Cardiff, we tried all different things, but the

0:05:41 > 0:05:46atmosphere for this, it felt like five minutes afterwards standing

0:05:46 > 0:05:51each other off.For people don't remember, tell us what happened now.

0:05:51 > 0:05:56The first group to turn their backs loses the first challenge so we just

0:05:56 > 0:06:01made the call, we don't turn into the All Blacks turn. That's where

0:06:01 > 0:06:04you have the result. I remember Jonathan Kaplan not knowing what to

0:06:04 > 0:06:08do, the referee and players not knowing what to do, but ultimately

0:06:08 > 0:06:12that is irrelevant because we lost the match by 20 points, and you have

0:06:12 > 0:06:19to back it up.Remember what Ryan Jones said to the referee?He said,

0:06:19 > 0:06:24we will penalise you, Ryan said, good luck, you've got 72,000 here!

0:06:24 > 0:06:30Great theatre but you have to back it up afterwards.Were you

0:06:30 > 0:06:33intimidated by the Haka, Jeremy?I watched it as a kid and thought it

0:06:33 > 0:06:36was amazing and when I faced it for real I was still amazed but I used

0:06:36 > 0:06:41to look at people like Grant Fox, who is small, you won't be

0:06:41 > 0:06:44frightened of grant, and his coordination, he couldn't dance, so

0:06:44 > 0:06:54he took the edge off it for me!Is this the first game in your injury

0:06:54 > 0:06:57lay-off, Sam, when you are sensing and feeling it and thinking, I want

0:06:57 > 0:07:00to be playing?It is a tough one, for Welsh players and fans, England

0:07:00 > 0:07:05at home, New Zealand at home are the two biggest games of the year, so

0:07:05 > 0:07:10watching games like this, the hype that it brings in the week, people

0:07:10 > 0:07:15talking about it in the shops or the press or walking the dog, everybody

0:07:15 > 0:07:18loves England and New Zealand, these are the ones who misses a player and

0:07:18 > 0:07:22it is tough being this side of the but hopefully it will get heated

0:07:22 > 0:07:27watching it and pushing the boys well.I mentioned the subplot today,

0:07:27 > 0:07:31the Steve Hansen- Warren Gatland relationship that reached its high

0:07:31 > 0:07:36point or maybe low point on the Lions tour. Sonia spoke to see Steve

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Hansen at Murrayfield last week that there moment of glory and this is

0:07:39 > 0:07:44what happened.Looking forward to locking horns with car Lee Mack

0:07:44 > 0:07:51Warren Gatland next week?We are playing Wales not Warren Gatland.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55You have been coached by both, what do you make of that and how would

0:07:55 > 0:07:59you compare their coaching styles?I don't think they will send each of

0:07:59 > 0:08:03the Christmas cards. I have been fortunate enough to be coached by

0:08:03 > 0:08:07both and I have to say their philosophy, the way the game is

0:08:07 > 0:08:12played, are polar opposites. I am sure they are both wily enough to

0:08:12 > 0:08:15have a chuckle themselves. They are just deflecting all the attention

0:08:15 > 0:08:21from their players onto themselves. It is fascinating, different but

0:08:21 > 0:08:24both success of philosophies which shows there are more than one ways

0:08:24 > 0:08:28to skin a cat?Are they made smart blueberries gamesmanship going on

0:08:28 > 0:08:37here and nothing surer than the two of them will meet, hands and havea

0:08:37 > 0:08:40drink together after the match. They want nothing more than to beat each

0:08:40 > 0:08:45other.There many New Zealanders in Cardiff tonight and I was at the

0:08:45 > 0:08:49team hotel earlier and there were thousands of Kiwi fans looking at

0:08:49 > 0:08:54the team bus, even the bus has a certain aura about it. Mention of

0:08:54 > 0:08:58Murrayfield last week, Scotland didn't feel the threat of the All

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Blacks last week, instead, boosted by the challenge of one of their

0:09:01 > 0:09:05great players of the field, they really tried to their utmost to

0:09:05 > 0:09:07break the history books.

0:09:14 > 0:09:20COMMENTATOR: One of Scottish Rugby's favourite sons.A moment to move us

0:09:20 > 0:09:25all.Can be All Blacks punish them, wide from Ioane to tailor, and

0:09:25 > 0:09:31Taylor in for the try. Sonny Bill Williams trips it through to

0:09:31 > 0:09:37McKenzie for the try, great try for the All Blacks. Johnny Gray tries to

0:09:37 > 0:09:44stretch and he scores for Scotland. Another penalty and the pocket is

0:09:44 > 0:09:50being reached four. Yellow card, and it is Cane. New Zealand attack well,

0:09:50 > 0:09:57Sonny Bill Williams to McKenzie and a wonderful try for Beauden Barrett.

0:09:57 > 0:10:04Jones gives it to haul, a chip for Seymour, gives the pass and Jones

0:10:04 > 0:10:11now for the try, what a try for Scotland. Jones into Hall and Stuart

0:10:11 > 0:10:15Hogg is through. Stuart Hogg for the corner, can't quite get there, and

0:10:15 > 0:10:20the whistle-blowers, the cruellest sound for Scotland here at

0:10:20 > 0:10:28Murrayfield. -- the whistle blows. STUDIO: A fabulous match and an

0:10:28 > 0:10:32inspirational occasion but it meant New Zealand didn't suffer an almost

0:10:32 > 0:10:36unprecedented third defeat in a calendar year. This is the All Black

0:10:36 > 0:10:39record under Steve Hansen. Here is his last pre-match

0:10:39 > 0:10:41record under Steve Hansen. Here is his last pre-match interview of

0:10:41 > 0:10:462017, he is with Sonia.One last push before the All Blacks can rest,

0:10:46 > 0:10:51have you noticed signs of mental or physical fatigue in the build-up?

0:10:51 > 0:10:56No, I have seen a great week from the boys, really energised and

0:10:56 > 0:11:01excited. We had a wake-up call last week so the attitude is on the right

0:11:01 > 0:11:04box this week.Has discipline been the world of the week? You were on

0:11:04 > 0:11:11the wrong end of the penalty count? We have talked about that. We need

0:11:11 > 0:11:17more trust and faith in the line and the systems we have.Do you have a

0:11:17 > 0:11:21theory why the penalty count has been perhaps quite so steeped in the

0:11:21 > 0:11:26last two tests? 32 against France and Scotland.We have probably been

0:11:26 > 0:11:30offending.But why?As I said, we are trying to trust and lack of

0:11:30 > 0:11:37trust in your defensive system at times, anxiety, only 14 players on

0:11:37 > 0:11:41the field, people panic. It is about taking a deep breath and getting

0:11:41 > 0:11:51online and away we go.You are missing captain Kieran Read, so what

0:11:51 > 0:11:53sort of boosters Sam Whitelock?He is similar, leads by his actions,

0:11:53 > 0:11:56led all year in the Crusader so it is not foreign for him. They know

0:11:56 > 0:12:00his voice because he is a leader in the team so it shouldn't be too much

0:12:00 > 0:12:04of a shock.Good luck today.Thank you.One of those defeats this year

0:12:04 > 0:12:08was the second test against the Lions. We have scores from that

0:12:08 > 0:12:13series and Martin and Jerry will talk us through it. Different

0:12:13 > 0:12:15series and Martin and Jerry will talk us through it. Different ways

0:12:15 > 0:12:19the All Blacks may be vulnerable. Scotland showed last week, when you

0:12:19 > 0:12:24attack New Zealand, they are not invincible and you have to play

0:12:24 > 0:12:29against them. Unfortunately for Wales this guy isn't playing, he is

0:12:29 > 0:12:33the catalyst, fantastic try, Jonathan Davies, and other Welsh

0:12:33 > 0:12:37player missing, but you can score against them. Defensively they play

0:12:37 > 0:12:48a passive defence and let you get to the corners.Wales are trying to

0:12:48 > 0:12:52recreatewhat the Lions did with Sexton and Farrell. If you get the

0:12:52 > 0:12:56ball to the edges every side is honourable and New Zealand you can

0:12:56 > 0:13:00put alongside that. When you have athletes like Taulupe Faletau, this

0:13:00 > 0:13:03is a mismatch, we always think back against a forward as a mismatched

0:13:03 > 0:13:07but this close to the line it definitely is. They are trying to

0:13:07 > 0:13:10work that access to the ballplayers and sometimes rather than go behind

0:13:10 > 0:13:14you do the short pot ball because the defence expected to go behind

0:13:14 > 0:13:19and you can take advantage. If Wales can learn from that they will be in

0:13:19 > 0:13:24business today.This is real captaincy from the second try, as

0:13:24 > 0:13:29exhibited by Sam Warburton, talk us through this, Sam.I think the truth

0:13:29 > 0:13:33is I was so blowing I said, give the ball to Toby as quick as you can. It

0:13:33 > 0:13:39is a definite tactic, we want guys in the 15 metre channels, good

0:13:39 > 0:13:43athletes like Toby, that is part of why Ah Chong will was selected

0:13:43 > 0:13:50today, but I think you here we created a lot -- White Aaron

0:13:50 > 0:13:55Shingler was selected today. That is the easiest thing to defend. If you

0:13:55 > 0:13:59have the courage to go wide and stretch teams and recognise there is

0:13:59 > 0:14:08space out there and go for it...We all remember what it was like when

0:14:08 > 0:14:13kids.Today's game is so defensive based, having the courage to go wide

0:14:13 > 0:14:18when it is instinct to do it. Delilah ringing round, the buzz

0:14:18 > 0:14:22before kick-off is fantastic, are the Welsh players conscious of that,

0:14:22 > 0:14:24just about to lead

0:14:24 > 0:14:25the Welsh players conscious of that, just about to lead the field? Or are

0:14:25 > 0:14:30you immune to it?For me this is the best part of match day, when you get

0:14:30 > 0:14:33into the game you are so focused on the match but when you like on the

0:14:33 > 0:14:40warm up with the choir in the middle of the pitch singing Calon Lan and

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Delilah, just before it kicks off and you get back in the dressing

0:14:42 > 0:14:46room and talk about the game, for me, I love that, you are proud to be

0:14:46 > 0:14:51Welsh when you hear those songs.I don't know if it is rational all

0:14:51 > 0:14:54desperation that everyone is saying the All Blacks might be vulnerable

0:14:54 > 0:14:58because of certain things. We had the incident last week when Kieran

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Read was perhaps lucky not to be yellow carded and who knows what

0:15:02 > 0:15:07outcome that might have had on the outcome. It does this show New

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Zealand are making decisions now they might not have made in days

0:15:10 > 0:15:16gone by?Absolutely, defensive systems from set phase are so well

0:15:16 > 0:15:18set, you have to take them through phase after phase and I guess that's

0:15:18 > 0:15:25where we were and Kieran was under pressure. When you force individuals

0:15:25 > 0:15:30to decide and they are not linked to either side. The All Blacks are

0:15:30 > 0:15:33upset about their penalty count, a key performance indicator for them

0:15:33 > 0:15:40going into matches, so I will look for an improvement tonight.That for

0:15:40 > 0:15:45anybody now on replay is a yellow card, you are in the red zone, less

0:15:45 > 0:15:50than five metres out, it looks like you're going to score. It had to be

0:15:50 > 0:15:54yellow card. Unless referees get on top of this, they are letting a few

0:15:54 > 0:15:57things slip away and they have to pick on those.We have two openside

0:15:57 > 0:16:04flanker is here.There's nothing wrong with it!LAUGHTER Let he who

0:16:04 > 0:16:09is without sin cast the first stone, though, Wales were not immune last

0:16:09 > 0:16:13week from skulduggery.Controversy with this. You have to take the

0:16:13 > 0:16:20guy's word for it in the end that they were injured but it definitely

0:16:20 > 0:16:24was an uncontested scrum. Very contentions. Nikki Smith is

0:16:24 > 0:16:29irrelevant in that picture because it had to be a tight head coming

0:16:29 > 0:16:33back on so unfortunate circumstances for the game to end.Did that look

0:16:33 > 0:16:37like an obvious cramp injury?I think the confusion was, you are

0:16:37 > 0:16:40either injured or a technical substitution, it was marked as

0:16:40 > 0:16:46technical.We will leave it with that, it will be invidious to ask

0:16:46 > 0:16:50you what happened last weekend. If you are in Cardiff today it feels

0:16:50 > 0:16:54different, with said the same about Edinburgh last week but when the All

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Blacks are in town it wretched things up a bit and the red hordes

0:16:57 > 0:17:01are out in the numbers today, but there is something special between

0:17:01 > 0:17:05the Welsh and the New Zealand fans because I suppose they are the two

0:17:05 > 0:17:09pre-eminent rugby nations in the world, and I suppose a lot today

0:17:09 > 0:17:14will be down to Wales's favourite adopted Kiwi, and he is with Sonia

0:17:14 > 0:17:21now.Warren, the Lions series ended all square so you can understand why

0:17:21 > 0:17:26a few think this might be a handy tie breaker.I can understand that

0:17:26 > 0:17:31but the Lions is finished now, this is about Wales. We haven't beaten

0:17:31 > 0:17:35the All Blacks were 64 years so it's been a long time. We have had a good

0:17:35 > 0:17:40week training and the boys are excited about today's.Faletau and

0:17:40 > 0:17:45Alun Wyn Jones have talked about the confidence gained from beating New

0:17:45 > 0:17:50Zealand with Alliance, can that filter down to the squad?I hope so.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54This is the first step, often as a coach their hardest thing to coaches

0:17:54 > 0:17:57experience and they have that experience, and hopefully it can

0:17:57 > 0:18:01filter into the players, the self belief and confidence.When you look

0:18:01 > 0:18:05at the All Blacks defeats in the last 12 months, to Ireland, the

0:18:05 > 0:18:09Lions and Australia, do you think they are vulnerable?They are never

0:18:09 > 0:18:15vulnerable. I think... They have picked up a few injuries, they have

0:18:15 > 0:18:19key players out, we do as well, and I think for every the moment is

0:18:19 > 0:18:22about focusing on the next two years, building up to the World Cup

0:18:22 > 0:18:30adding depth. If you ever call the All Blacks vulnerable that's when it

0:18:30 > 0:18:36comes back to bite you. They wouldn't have been happy with the

0:18:36 > 0:18:39performance last week, last game of the tour, though, still unbeaten and

0:18:39 > 0:18:44they would be dangerous today.Good luck.Thank you.I keep talking

0:18:44 > 0:18:47about missing players, and a couple of key figures out from the backs

0:18:47 > 0:18:52for Wales so a big day for Scott Williams.His 50th cap so always a

0:18:52 > 0:18:58special occasion. He has big shoes to fill in John Davies, who is so

0:18:58 > 0:19:03essential to this side. He needs to be mistake free with ball in hand

0:19:03 > 0:19:07today and defensively needs the game of his life as well.He has a great

0:19:07 > 0:19:12opportunity, he broke into the scene, he is strong and aggressive,

0:19:12 > 0:19:17I'll never forget him ripping the ball out of Courtney Lawes's arms at

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Twickenham and scoring a try. He broke in there. A couple of injuries

0:19:20 > 0:19:24but now is his opportunity and I think he is talented enough to take

0:19:24 > 0:19:30it.We spoke two weeks ago against Australia about the new Wales. If

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Rob

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Australia about the new Wales. If Rob Evans symbolic of that?He

0:19:34 > 0:19:39symbolises the way Wales want to play, a big character, full of

0:19:39 > 0:19:43confidence, but there is a lot of combination, but I think over the

0:19:43 > 0:19:48last few years Wales have been poor at passing the ball. Rob Evans pass

0:19:48 > 0:19:54the ball 12 times, more than any other players apart from half-backs,

0:19:54 > 0:19:58so he is confident, mobile, throws off-loads, carries well, I thought

0:19:58 > 0:20:02he had a big game against Australia but for all this fancy stuff,

0:20:02 > 0:20:06against the all breakfast he needs to do his fundamentals right,

0:20:06 > 0:20:11scrummage well and give another big performance.Sam, is today the day?

0:20:11 > 0:20:17Definitely, that is why 75,000 people have turned up, to see that

0:20:17 > 0:20:20win. I still have my players had on and always think we will win every

0:20:20 > 0:20:25game we going to and I have no doubt the boys feel the same. The bench is

0:20:25 > 0:20:29a massive part of the played for Wales, can they match the impact and

0:20:29 > 0:20:33intensity of the New Zealand bench? There are a few experienced guys

0:20:33 > 0:20:35there, Roberts and Priestland will be able to manage it well in the

0:20:35 > 0:20:41last 20 minutes.That is telling statistic on the screen, Wales have

0:20:41 > 0:20:44played cautious game until Australia, 22 off-loads, look at the

0:20:44 > 0:20:47difference in the previous five or six, showing

0:20:47 > 0:20:48difference in the previous five or six, showing the way we evolve the

0:20:48 > 0:20:53game plan.Are you worried, not very worried, quite worried?I am always

0:20:53 > 0:20:59on edge as an All Black. We know Wales will give it their best game.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02They have young players out here full of ambition, fearless, and they

0:21:02 > 0:21:10want to prove a point so I am nervous.But last week was a shot

0:21:10 > 0:21:13across the bowels. How much will that have been an encouragement to

0:21:13 > 0:21:16the All Blacks, saying, we know what it is like to almost lose and we

0:21:16 > 0:21:19will make sure not to find ourselves in that situation again.I would

0:21:19 > 0:21:22certainly look for a response but Wales will have watched that game

0:21:22 > 0:21:25and seen a chink in the armour and see it as an opportunity. We are in

0:21:25 > 0:21:31for a cracker.Jeremy?I hope Wales don't play their rugby in their own

0:21:31 > 0:21:35half pipe they did in Australia. Australia scored four tries and this

0:21:35 > 0:21:39site will score six or seven of they do. Believe in your fitness and have

0:21:39 > 0:21:46a go.Hope, expect, what?I wouldn't say hope, we haven't beaten New

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Zealand and 64 years. Look at their back line, there is real special

0:21:49 > 0:21:54talent no matter who is missing. I agree with Jeremy, we have to play

0:21:54 > 0:21:58smarter, we played well against Australia but we have to play

0:21:58 > 0:22:02smarter.Alun Wyn Jones leading Wales Today but had you been giving

0:22:02 > 0:22:07the last-minute team talk to Wales against the All Blacks at the

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Principality Stadium ten minutes ago, Sam, what would you have said?

0:22:09 > 0:22:14I get asked this often, I never plan what I will say. Before kick-off I

0:22:14 > 0:22:19think it is important to emphasise tactical points. You don't need to

0:22:19 > 0:22:23motivate them. You almost need to take them down a level at that

0:22:23 > 0:22:26point, make sure they know the game plan, for the first 20 minutes

0:22:26 > 0:22:30because emotions will be running wild. Make sure you get the game

0:22:30 > 0:22:38plan right.Scott Williams, first man on the field, his 50th cap for

0:22:38 > 0:22:42Wales, and I think we will let the sound here do the talking because

0:22:42 > 0:22:44this is what the Principality Stadium sounds like for Wales

0:22:44 > 0:22:45against the All Blacks.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52FIREWORKS.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00On occasions like this it really is a stadium like no other and you may

0:23:00 > 0:23:04also have noticed a lot of RAF personnel at the stadium, because

0:23:04 > 0:23:14this weekend marks the 100th anniversary of the bill to form the

0:23:14 > 0:23:18RAF, and the Prime Minister at the time of course was a Welshman, David

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Lloyd George. The anthems will be played by the Central band of the

0:23:21 > 0:23:31RAF. In 1953, the last time Wales won against New Zealand, they were

0:23:31 > 0:23:35captained by Max Williams of the RAF, and the winning try was scored

0:23:35 > 0:23:43by Sergeant Ken Jones of the RAF -- captained by Bleddyn Williams of the

0:27:42 > 0:27:47again, Wales against New Zealand, 64 young long years have passed since

0:27:47 > 0:27:54Wales have beaten these All Blacks. -- 64 long years. No empty seats in

0:27:54 > 0:27:59the stadium. Sam Whitelock leads the All Blacks in the absence of Kieran

0:27:59 > 0:28:08Read. No seats empty because everybody wants to be here to see a

0:28:08 > 0:28:15Haka. Alun Wyn Jones leads Wales again as he did against Australia.

0:28:15 > 0:28:21With a little piece of Kiwi Theatre.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24get me. Wales have to think this today, a lot of it is in the mind.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27Alun Wyn Jones mentioned because he's beating the all Blacks he knows

0:30:27 > 0:30:31it's possible. The rest of his team who haven't have to believe it is

0:30:31 > 0:30:36possible.For Wales it is back to the pack that started against

0:30:36 > 0:30:43Australia. Can Rob Evans BV playmaking propaganda? Alun Wyn

0:30:43 > 0:30:51Jones the captain. No Liam Williams. He's injured. A 50th cupful Scott

0:30:51 > 0:30:58Williams in the centre alongside the number 12. The midfield Williams of

0:30:58 > 0:31:06Wales. For the All Blacks, their last game on tour, no keirin raid,

0:31:06 > 0:31:15no Brodie Retallick. Big performers missing. -- Kieran Read. The third

0:31:15 > 0:31:18Williams, Sonny Bill

0:31:18 > 0:31:19missing. -- Kieran Read. The third Williams, Sonny Bill, such a

0:31:19 > 0:31:24presence. Stop him off-loading, stopping doing the double grubbers.

0:31:24 > 0:31:32Pace galore on that three quarters line.

0:31:32 > 0:31:38# Feed me till I want no more... Wayne Barnes of England is today's

0:31:38 > 0:31:52referee. We're all set. Always a special occasion. Sam Whitelock

0:31:52 > 0:31:57highly experienced in the All Blacks second row. Captain on this today.

0:31:57 > 0:32:10Beauden Barrett switches direction. Jake Ball kicks well above his head.

0:32:10 > 0:32:23Rhys Webb. Naholo watches it bounce. Steff Evans goes up. First touch for

0:32:23 > 0:32:29Luke Whitelock at number eight. Smith at scrum-half, Alun Wyn Jones

0:32:29 > 0:32:33through the middle. Good disruptive work by Wales. Play on, says the

0:32:33 > 0:32:40referee. Ken Owens plays scrum-half, Jake Ball, now Dan Biggar. Tommy

0:32:40 > 0:32:48Bowe Faletau. Scott Williams. Leigh Halfpenny. Amos on the far wing.

0:32:48 > 0:33:04Jake Ball again. Superb tackling an ball, Luke Whitelock.

0:33:04 > 0:33:13Ken Owens lifts his knees and drives under rules and terms. Rob Evans. No

0:33:13 > 0:33:20little pass this time. Direct. Owen Williams. Dan Biggar, show and go.

0:33:20 > 0:33:31Aaron Shingler hovers over the ball. The captain... Taylor tried to slow

0:33:31 > 0:33:35it up. Josh Navidi involved, just about every Welsh player has had a

0:33:35 > 0:33:44touch of the ball. Scott Williams. Rhys Webb. Ken Owens. Handball.

0:33:44 > 0:33:52Presents well. Hallam Amos. Under the New Zealand 22. Schindler again

0:33:52 > 0:34:05over the ball. Ken Owens. Stretches, delivers. Navidi. Tomas Francis.

0:34:05 > 0:34:09Offers his support. Owen Williams, Scott Williams. Excellent tackle on

0:34:09 > 0:34:19him.

0:34:19 > 0:34:27Shingler gets the pathway. Tomas Francis. Doesn't risk the past. When

0:34:27 > 0:34:39he does. Can Wales risk more passes? Leigh Halfpenny. Still in, says the

0:34:39 > 0:34:51referee, Wayne Barnes. Rob Evans over the ball. Jake Ball. Dan

0:34:51 > 0:34:54Biggar, the change of tactics come into the 22. Will there be a

0:34:54 > 0:34:59challenge? Amos in pursuit. Beauden Barrett watches it bounce. Play on,

0:34:59 > 0:35:07says the referee. Solid tackle. But it's not. Because Ioane comes away

0:35:07 > 0:35:11from Alun Wyn Jones. And New Zealand can clear. Will they keep the ball

0:35:11 > 0:35:18on the field? They don't. What a start, Jonathan.Great start by

0:35:18 > 0:35:21Wales, great counter rocking, pressure at the breakdown. The

0:35:21 > 0:35:25intent was there to play. Listening to Martyn Williams they have to play

0:35:25 > 0:35:28in the right areas, against Australia they made mistakes, trying

0:35:28 > 0:35:32to play the new style of rugby. This is where they want to play and they

0:35:32 > 0:35:38have to vary their game. Great start by Wales.Ken Owens with the throw.

0:35:38 > 0:35:47Bouncing, bubbling, comes up on the New Zealand side. Great off-loading,

0:35:47 > 0:35:57Sam Cane. To Codie Taylor. Steff Evans steps in. A chance for Wales.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01Dan Biggar leads the charge. Ten against ten. Beauden Barrett gets

0:36:01 > 0:36:13back. For a five metre.They've dropped two hi balls. Imprecise in

0:36:13 > 0:36:24their handling. It could have been worse. An absolutely prime

0:36:24 > 0:36:27opportunity, not only do Wales have the scrum, they have both sides of

0:36:27 > 0:36:31the field, beat blindside.Beauden Barrett took the ball standing

0:36:31 > 0:36:35still, but the pace of the movement, which made a difficult passport

0:36:35 > 0:36:43Sonny Bill He should have kept it and kept it in. Try to get the ball

0:36:43 > 0:36:48into McKenzie. What a great position for Wales.Sonny Bill Williams in

0:36:48 > 0:36:5312. Prowling behind the New Zealand goal-line. A wonderful opportunity,

0:36:53 > 0:37:03a great place to launch a blindside move.You've got to get it on the

0:37:03 > 0:37:15right-hand side.Let's have that space.The idea was for Wales to get

0:37:15 > 0:37:19the right-hand side of scrummage appear, turned the All Blacks back

0:37:19 > 0:37:25row slightly away from the run. Be able to defend it down there. The

0:37:25 > 0:37:33throw on two if they can get a decent channel ball.First

0:37:33 > 0:37:41scrummage. Good for Wales so far. Rhys Webb... Dummies. It's thrown

0:37:41 > 0:37:50back. Navidi get his hands on the ball. Faletau to pick up. To Jake

0:37:50 > 0:37:57Ball. Tom Francis plays scrum-half.

0:38:00 > 0:38:04Rhys Webb slow to get back to his feet. He is limping. Alun Wyn Jones

0:38:04 > 0:38:10have a go. Three metres out from the All Blacks line. Rhys Webb is down

0:38:10 > 0:38:17just out of shot. He's now taking his position, still limping, though,

0:38:17 > 0:38:25doesn't look good for the scrum-half. Jake Ball drives on.

0:38:25 > 0:38:29You've got to get Rhys Webb out of the moment he doesn't know where he

0:38:29 > 0:38:36is.Rhys Webb points out the ball, he doesn't go that near it.

0:38:36 > 0:38:53Forwards, to drive it on. Good tackle by Ryan Crotty. Ken Owens.

0:38:53 > 0:38:58Now, it comes to Owen Williams, straight out to Faletau. Tackled by

0:38:58 > 0:39:06Naholo. Wales have had to go back. Josh Navidi takes them up to the

0:39:06 > 0:39:11five metre line. Rhys Webb. No longer limping, looking for the

0:39:11 > 0:39:25break. Ken Owens. Dan Biggar. Scott Williams stops, turns. Counter

0:39:25 > 0:39:37rocking by New Zealand. Shingler picks a hard pass off his means.

0:39:37 > 0:39:46Penalties to Wales.It's great play, Dan Biggar has to look at it, the

0:39:46 > 0:39:52All Blacks defence narrowed very much there. The cross kick... We

0:39:52 > 0:39:55have to look at Rhys Webb. He was out on his feet. It'll be

0:39:55 > 0:40:00interesting to see if he's checking... He has to go off, I

0:40:00 > 0:40:04think, he was out with his feet, which hindered the Welsh attack. At

0:40:04 > 0:40:15crucial times, you know, Rhys Webb had gone walkabout.Leigh Halfpenny

0:40:15 > 0:40:19indicates... This is Rhys Webb going off the field. Gareth Davies, who

0:40:19 > 0:40:35started against Australia, is on. Heads to the floor.Hopefully he'll

0:40:35 > 0:40:47be back.Eight minutes of constant Welsh pressure. This is always a

0:40:47 > 0:40:58relief. To come away with something. Minus the scrum-half. A startling

0:40:58 > 0:41:09scrum-half. Wales take the lead 3-0. The fluency of the first eight

0:41:09 > 0:41:12minutes of exchanges. You get the feeling they need something to spark

0:41:12 > 0:41:24creativity. To pull them wide, then narrow.Beauden Barrett again

0:41:24 > 0:41:30changes direction, this time it's Faletau who takes the kick. Gareth

0:41:30 > 0:41:40Davies. His first touch at scrum-half. Steff Evans. Couldn't

0:41:40 > 0:41:49really get under way there. The All Blacks held up. Now they get it to

0:41:49 > 0:42:00the ground. Aaron Smith to Whitelock. Laulala... A brother who

0:42:00 > 0:42:09played at the Blues here. McKenzie. They don't want to give him too much

0:42:09 > 0:42:21room to start weaving and running. Welcome as a call, that's got to

0:42:21 > 0:42:24come from one of the assistant referees. I think it was in the

0:42:24 > 0:42:35previous... That says it all... The previous ruck. Before this, I think.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38The line speed was very good by Wales, cut the space down for

0:42:38 > 0:42:53McKenzie.Dan Biggar. As Wayne Barnes explains to Kane Hames. Kane

0:42:53 > 0:43:03Hames took out Tomas Francis. Wales back on the attack.A prime

0:43:03 > 0:43:07opportunity for Wales. I'd like to see him catch and drive this.

0:43:07 > 0:43:14Faletau can't get his hands to it. Luke Whitelock... Aaron Smith takes

0:43:14 > 0:43:22one to the face. From the ball. Catch it first, preferably, then the

0:43:22 > 0:43:28drive.

0:43:45 > 0:44:07Space, keep your space. Crouch! Bind! He's going to recover.We'll

0:44:07 > 0:44:11have a reset I think. You can tell by the volume of Wayne Barnes

0:44:11 > 0:44:17whistle he wasn't annoyed. Interesting to hear Aaron Smith

0:44:17 > 0:44:21going how long, so, how long, so, meaning to get the ball in.He can't

0:44:21 > 0:44:27put the ball in if the scrum isn't safe. There is only one side that

0:44:27 > 0:44:35definitely won't be stationary, that is the put-in side.Space...Kane

0:44:35 > 0:44:39Hames on the far side, Codie Taylor in the middle. Laulala on this

0:44:39 > 0:44:55nearside. Against Rob Evans. Nice, clean strike. Hurry up from Wayne

0:44:55 > 0:45:01Barnes. It's out there for Gareth Davies. Owen Williams to Scott

0:45:01 > 0:45:13Williams. Available. Long to Amos who gets the kick. That should go

0:45:13 > 0:45:25dead. Wales offside. Penalty to New Zealand.The guy coming on the

0:45:25 > 0:45:30switch, trying to keep the inside defence one. Inside Gareth Davies,

0:45:30 > 0:45:36in front of the Keko. Wayne Barnes. What is unsatisfactory for Wales is

0:45:36 > 0:45:41the fact the last two incursions, and the set pieces they had, they

0:45:41 > 0:45:47lost one line-out and that scrummage didn't come away quickly.Wales up

0:45:47 > 0:45:58fast. Here is danger. Aaron Smith for the line. Aaron Smith long...

0:45:58 > 0:46:09It's going to be a drive in New Zealand!-- a try for New Zealand.

0:46:09 > 0:46:16We're going to have verification.I don't think there's much doubt about

0:46:16 > 0:46:20that touch, the corner flag isn't in play, doesn't matter if he touches

0:46:20 > 0:46:26that provided he doesn't touch outside the field of play. It just

0:46:26 > 0:46:35shows you must two set pieces up, you create one opportunity you get

0:46:35 > 0:46:43made to pay. Good finish.We've got a decision for you, you may award

0:46:43 > 0:46:54the try.Award it.When you see the initial break, the patients. So

0:46:54 > 0:47:01often you see players plough into runners. It's an easy run around.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04Scott Williams picks the wrong man, he stepped inside which allows

0:47:04 > 0:47:10Ioane. This is a beautiful pass, so composed, Smith. He keeps the width.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13That a brilliant try. This is the inside pass, there is the support

0:47:13 > 0:47:21runner. Beautiful pass. He knows he's kept the width. The initial

0:47:21 > 0:47:27break in the mistake, questions the midfield defence and steps in. That

0:47:27 > 0:47:31is where this guy, Ioane, is so dangerous.You saw him transferred

0:47:31 > 0:47:39the ball into the outside hand, the correct hand. Any people watching...

0:47:39 > 0:47:52Young wingers watching especially... Beauden Barrett. It looks good.

0:47:52 > 0:47:57Wales three, New Zealand seven. Naholo scores and finishes

0:47:57 > 0:48:06brilliantly.He's broken the tackle. They ask questions of the Welsh

0:48:06 > 0:48:11midfield. They cut through and once they do a line break very rarely do

0:48:11 > 0:48:14they mess it up.

0:48:18 > 0:48:2214 minutes of Welsh pressure, three points, one minute of All Blacks

0:48:22 > 0:48:32pressure, seven points.

0:48:34 > 0:48:41Smith. Leigh Halfpenny weights, jumps high. Tackled by the try

0:48:41 > 0:48:50scorer. Sam Cane with a tackle on Jake Ball. Wales still in their own

0:48:50 > 0:49:10half. Steff Evans. A fellow Scarlet, Evans. Navidi. Wales go aerial. Amos

0:49:10 > 0:49:20against Ioane. Going backwards... Faletau scoops it up. Scott

0:49:20 > 0:49:25Williams, Leigh Halfpenny, has to take the tackle of Ryan Crotty. He

0:49:25 > 0:49:32does well to keep the ball in Welsh hands.

0:49:38 > 0:49:44Faletau... Sonny Bill Williams with the tackle, excellent pass to Dan

0:49:44 > 0:49:51Biggar. Hallam Amos just can't get there. Just out of play which may be

0:49:51 > 0:49:56good news because McKenzie was away. Watch this defence. He doesn't get a

0:49:56 > 0:50:01lot of credit for his defence, Beauden Barrett, but that was a

0:50:01 > 0:50:11brilliant tackle. He covered two men. Another cover tackle. One thing

0:50:11 > 0:50:29is Wales do is head-on tackles.V sign of a game over. Sam Whitelock

0:50:29 > 0:50:33wins, New Zealand drive it up a couple of metres for Codie Taylor,

0:50:33 > 0:50:42in possession. Aaron Smith checks where everybody is. He says to the

0:50:42 > 0:50:51Wenger Ioane, Chase this. Amos jumped. -- says to the winger. Owen

0:50:51 > 0:51:04Williams to Scott Williams. Rob

0:51:05 > 0:51:11does well to take on Liam Squire. Dan Biggar. Scott Williams. We have

0:51:11 > 0:51:21a head injury.The last three times Wales have gone right to left. They

0:51:21 > 0:51:27haven't been able to move the ball quick enough to set him free.He

0:51:27 > 0:51:37looks in great pain doesn't he?This doesn't look good. For the big

0:51:37 > 0:51:51second row Jake Ball. Ryan Crotty is leaving the field for New Zealand.

0:51:56 > 0:52:02Fairly innocuous, you can't tell... May a dislocation.He's in a of pain

0:52:02 > 0:52:19there. Hopefully Jake Ball will be OK. And there is...Ryan Crotty

0:52:19 > 0:52:26heading for the changing rooms. Not exactly rushing there. Looks like it

0:52:26 > 0:52:31to the end of his game, too. We've only had 80 minutes and lost two.

0:52:31 > 0:52:39We're certainly going to lose Jake Ball here.It looked like a bicep

0:52:39 > 0:52:44injury or something, is it? If you tear a bicep, it is very very

0:52:44 > 0:52:57painful. Painful, isn't it?I tore both of mine.I didn't have any, I

0:52:57 > 0:53:03was all right.And online at Brown is already under the All Blacks.

0:53:03 > 0:53:07We'll be pausing here as they take their time about getting players

0:53:07 > 0:53:19off.A general point of view, from a Welch point of view, they are

0:53:19 > 0:53:27kicking ball in. This is a break for the try. It's that, a refusal to

0:53:27 > 0:53:33take the obvious line, the obvious support man. Using it as a decoy.

0:53:33 > 0:53:37Bend the ball out. Wales have been competent, in the ruck, getting the

0:53:37 > 0:53:40ball back, coming back quickly. They are not having the essential

0:53:40 > 0:53:45off-load to get it beyond.They have to engage defenders. If it's not on

0:53:45 > 0:53:49you can't go wide, if you don't commit players to the ruck and more,

0:53:49 > 0:53:52they have more defenders than attackers. You are not going to

0:53:52 > 0:53:57score tries when in a position where you can put points on the board.

0:53:57 > 0:54:00Drop goal or something to keep that ticking over. When you're in that

0:54:00 > 0:54:07red zone, almost 22, you have to come away with some points.Well,

0:54:07 > 0:54:15the good news for Wales is that Jake Ball is on his feet. He's already

0:54:15 > 0:54:35been replaced by Cory Hill of the Dragons. One dangling left arm.

0:54:44 > 0:54:54A new All Black, Anton Lienert-Brown.

0:55:02 > 0:55:08We shall we start with a scrummage in the middle of the field of the

0:55:08 > 0:55:17Welsh ten metre line. Jake Ball just raises a palm to acknowledge the

0:55:17 > 0:55:23applause.Interesting setup here. Beauden Barrett has gone back on the

0:55:23 > 0:55:27left side. He wandered onto the right side. He was creating the

0:55:27 > 0:55:34overlap. As Brian said, if you get it up on the tight head, it then

0:55:34 > 0:55:38moves the All Blacks back row away from where you're going to attack.

0:55:38 > 0:55:43An eight nine, hopefully create the space for the 15.

0:56:01 > 0:56:06Something of the buzz has gone out of the occasion with three injuries.

0:56:06 > 0:56:10Gareth Davies comes away, Leigh Halfpenny takes on Beauden Barrett,

0:56:10 > 0:56:18stepped inside him. Sam Cane was alert. Gareth Davies weights. Aaron

0:56:18 > 0:56:24Shingler started with a bandage, that has gone. Dan Biggar. Owen

0:56:24 > 0:56:30Williams. Long to Steff Evans.

0:56:31 > 0:56:40Rob Evans. To the new player on the field, Cory Hill. Smith read it

0:56:40 > 0:56:45well, looked at the referee. Who congratulated him.

0:56:51 > 0:56:57Dan Biggar chases. And catches brilliantly. A chance now for Steff

0:56:57 > 0:57:06Evans. Slow, slow and suddenly bursts into the All Black 22.

0:57:06 > 0:57:11Shingler, Owen Williams, Scott Williams to Leigh Halfpenny.

0:57:11 > 0:57:16Faletau. Held by one ankle. It enough. Gareth Davies arrives. Cory

0:57:16 > 0:57:22Hill. Inside pass to Rob Evans. Gareth Davies up to the five metre

0:57:22 > 0:57:32line. Navidi. In front of the All Black posts. Faletau kept one hand

0:57:32 > 0:57:38on the ball. It's been slowed up, Wales have to reset through

0:57:38 > 0:57:44Shingler. It has gone loose. Hill. Steff Evans want it on the wide

0:57:44 > 0:57:53left. If they spotted him? Ken Owens sidesteps. Owen Williams. Dan

0:57:53 > 0:58:00Biggar. Scott Williams. Beats Sonny Bill Williams. There was just enough

0:58:00 > 0:58:07of an ankle tap to bring the Welsh centre down. Rod Evans, one route

0:58:07 > 0:58:11only, the direct one. Navidi. Gets the past from Faletau. It's gone

0:58:11 > 0:58:23loose. The little has gone. -- the pass.Two or three off-load in that

0:58:23 > 0:58:31passage of play.Scrum, New Zealand ball.Good line by Navidi. Just

0:58:31 > 0:58:36couldn't take it.Again, the contact, the hit comedy turn, the

0:58:36 > 0:58:44off-load, the tackle, you can't defend it. -- the hit, the turn.

0:58:44 > 0:58:48Ironically Wales have done well in the aerial battle. Three or four

0:58:48 > 0:58:53times the All Blacks have spilled the ball.What you've got to do, if

0:58:53 > 0:58:57you watch, they defend with Beauden Barrett on the wing. If they can

0:58:57 > 0:59:01isolate him and get somebody like Amos or Steff Evans over the top of

0:59:01 > 0:59:06him, the cross kick is on. It keeps the width of the All Blacks defence,

0:59:06 > 0:59:10which creates bigger gaps on the inside. Wales have to keep on going,

0:59:10 > 0:59:20to try to get the off-load. Faletau was nearly over.New Zealand putting

0:59:20 > 0:59:24up the scrummage, a long way from the touchline. What pressure can

0:59:24 > 0:59:30Wales exert? Here at the set piece. Beauden Barrett at ten has a chat

0:59:30 > 0:59:36with Anton Lienert-Brown.

0:59:41 > 0:59:46Sam Eggington is going to take this first. McKenzie is in no position to

0:59:46 > 0:59:50kick the ball. The number eight will pick this up, take it in. To get in

0:59:50 > 0:59:55a better kicking position. You've got a hold your weight, please, one,

0:59:55 > 1:00:00engage far side. On the bind I want space, not fully engaged. Number

1:00:00 > 1:00:08one...Rob Evans penalised.The dreaded pre-engagement.It's only a

1:00:08 > 1:00:14free kick so Beauden Barrett keeps it on the park to Steff Evans. Leigh

1:00:14 > 1:00:18Halfpenny takes on his opposite number, gets away from him. Liam

1:00:18 > 1:00:23Squire eventually holds down the Welsh full-back. Tom Prentice, a

1:00:23 > 1:00:27pass from the Wales tight end. Dan Biggar into the All Black half. Rob

1:00:27 > 1:00:32Evans again.

1:00:32 > 1:00:38He is doing as much against the All Blacks as he did against Australia.

1:00:41 > 1:00:44Faletau.

1:00:48 > 1:00:53Cory Hill drops it. It's a penalty advantage. Cory Hill will be one

1:00:53 > 1:01:01relieved second row.This will be an interesting hall, right on

1:01:01 > 1:01:13Halfpenny's kicking threshold.If he kicks at goal.Sam went off. Good

1:01:13 > 1:01:22indication. Don't think Wayne -- I think Wayne Barnes is having a good

1:01:22 > 1:01:26game so far, his communication has been good with both sets of players,

1:01:26 > 1:01:34he has been consistent.How is Leigh Halfpenny indicating he is going for

1:01:34 > 1:01:41gold? Here is Rob Evans.The kicking tee is down, which is definitive,

1:01:41 > 1:01:46I'm told.

1:01:51 > 1:01:59I think it's Cane Hames, like you Brian, a qualified referee.It

1:01:59 > 1:02:11helps!It didn't

1:02:11 > 1:02:13then, he gave the penalty!LAUGHTER

1:02:13 > 1:02:23then, he gave the penalty!LAUGHTER.

1:02:29 > 1:02:37Leigh Halfpenny. Long enough... Wide.They have to keep the pressure

1:02:37 > 1:02:44on, that's all they've got to do. Tackles made after 24 minutes, 11

1:02:44 > 1:02:50tackles by Wales, 76 by the All Blacks. That shows the pressure.

1:02:50 > 1:02:55Alun Wyn Jones plucks one out of the air. Wales straight back on the

1:02:55 > 1:03:00attack. Owen Williams. Navidi tackled by Cane. Cane rolls out of

1:03:00 > 1:03:11the way. Scott Williams, and again, they target Beauden Barrett. Ken

1:03:11 > 1:03:18Owens tackled by his opposite number. Owen Williams took it well.

1:03:18 > 1:03:32Hallam Amos. Still on his feet. Gareth Davies arrives. Francis. Luke

1:03:32 > 1:03:37Whitelock was the tackler there. Lose the Scott Williams, bouncing,

1:03:37 > 1:03:42bubbling, Sonny Williams tries one of his trademark off-loads, Sam Cane

1:03:42 > 1:03:48manages a better one. Lienert-Brown.

1:03:50 > 1:03:53Barrett.

1:03:57 > 1:04:02I think Wales, when they go out the back with a couple of dummy runners,

1:04:02 > 1:04:05they have to fix those inside runners. At the moment the All

1:04:05 > 1:04:13Blacks defence out wide are pushing, covering across. I think they have

1:04:13 > 1:04:23to commit defenders nearer the rock. -- ruck.Line-out. Alun Wyn Jones

1:04:23 > 1:04:28takes it, Cory Hill spins, Faletau, intricate, and it has given Wales

1:04:28 > 1:04:34some space. Steff Evans in hot pursuit, McKenzie dives to the

1:04:34 > 1:04:45ground again, Lienert-Brown in support. Roles. Sam Whitelock, or

1:04:45 > 1:04:49heavyweight presence, calms everything down here. Sonny Bill

1:04:49 > 1:05:02Williams on the drive. Aaron Smith for touch. Yes.Great work done by

1:05:02 > 1:05:10McKenzie there under severe pressure, two tackle.There we are,

1:05:10 > 1:05:16better, but are still two on two. I would love to see Evans and Amos get

1:05:16 > 1:05:21involved in more of the plays.Here is Biggar and Halfpenny, running at

1:05:21 > 1:05:28full-back. Anton Lienert-Brown, released in the nick of time, Cory

1:05:28 > 1:05:37Hill. Steff Evans leaves it for Gareth Davies. Good pass, Faletau to

1:05:37 > 1:05:43Evans. Slick hands, it's gone a bit bouncy now, and Shingler has two

1:05:43 > 1:05:47role and twist near the touchline, brings it in field well and Wales

1:05:47 > 1:05:55have another player down injured, it is Dan Biggar. Navidi plays out,

1:05:55 > 1:06:01great handoff, Navidi on Taylor, another one, Beauden Barrett on Josh

1:06:01 > 1:06:05Navidi, this close, Leigh Halfpenny... It's been dropped by

1:06:05 > 1:06:11Hallam Amos. And it did go forward. Another chance goes begging for

1:06:11 > 1:06:24Wales.They are not going to get many more clear chances. Simply have

1:06:24 > 1:06:26to be taken. I have been very impressed by Navidi so far, he has

1:06:26 > 1:06:30had a great game carrying.He has brilliant autumn so far, two big

1:06:30 > 1:06:34games, New Zealand and Australia, you need to finish those with a

1:06:34 > 1:06:39break. You have to have a fallback in support, or a centre on his

1:06:39 > 1:06:43shoulder, and that is a walk-in. You cannot afford to miss those

1:06:43 > 1:06:47opportunities. Brilliant player, and again, the forwards, the forwards,

1:06:47 > 1:06:56the little passing, inside balls, quickly out under brilliant handoff.

1:06:56 > 1:07:02-- and a brilliant hand off.Josh Navidi. This time New Zealand pause

1:07:02 > 1:07:09for injuries of their own.Here he is, power, no stranger, makes a lot

1:07:09 > 1:07:17of ground, no stranger to Codie Taylor. For all the work when the

1:07:17 > 1:07:21ball comes out there is no explanation, it is a simple drop.

1:07:21 > 1:07:29Poor pass. The first pass to Halfpenny was poor. That kills the

1:07:29 > 1:07:33momentum and takes place out of the movement. You have to be clinical,

1:07:33 > 1:07:39your give-and-take has to be good. It has been all Wales in the first

1:07:39 > 1:07:44half but they only start that matters is the 7-3, and one

1:07:44 > 1:07:49opportunity and they have scored. Wales have to try to get something

1:07:49 > 1:07:56out of all this pressure. To give everyone a boost.Damian McKenzie

1:07:56 > 1:08:00walks back to his fallback position behind his own goal line. Still

1:08:00 > 1:08:08pressure on the All Blacks. Wales now have to be careful with their

1:08:08 > 1:08:12approach to the scrummage and listen to the referee. This is Wayne

1:08:12 > 1:08:22Barnes's view. Very solid scrum for New Zealand. Sonny Bill Williams

1:08:22 > 1:08:33drives it up. I think on his left foot. Will they risk the quick one?

1:08:33 > 1:08:38They do. Leigh Halfpenny heads off towards Scott Williams, then

1:08:38 > 1:08:52straightens. Steff Evans. Another tackle by Beauden Barrett.

1:08:52 > 1:08:56Interesting to see how many tackles the ten has made. New Zealand have

1:08:56 > 1:09:05turned it over.Four so far, hasn't he? I would like to see him involved

1:09:05 > 1:09:16the wingers, Hallam Amos. First hit. There is the knock-on. Try to get

1:09:16 > 1:09:21the danger men to play, get the ball to Hallam Amos. It's looked

1:09:21 > 1:09:27dangerous when they have the ball, try to get an inside run. Both All

1:09:27 > 1:09:31Blacks front five will now be tired. They have done so much work under so

1:09:31 > 1:09:36much pressure.

1:09:53 > 1:09:57Wayne Barnes congratulating them like children, "Well done on doing a

1:09:57 > 1:10:05good job and not giving a penalty away."Good scrummage by Wales.

1:10:05 > 1:10:12McKenzie, though, receives it at full pelt, and even faster... Oh!

1:10:12 > 1:10:17Couldn't quite make the pass and Wales countered through Steff Evans,

1:10:17 > 1:10:22Beauden Barrett covering back. Was there obstruction? The crowd will

1:10:22 > 1:10:29tell you they saw something. It is a penalty. Crossing in front of the

1:10:29 > 1:10:44kicker.That was very nearly a spectacular off-load by Naholo.

1:10:44 > 1:10:49Brilliant off-load, but let's just wait and see. It was a tough call,

1:10:49 > 1:10:53if they have deliberately run in front of Stephan Evans...All he

1:10:53 > 1:10:58needs to do is change is lying, does he go straight back? I'm not

1:10:58 > 1:11:05convinced he does there. -- change his line.I think Cane Hames...He

1:11:05 > 1:11:19knows what he's doing.Come on, less of the front row union stuff!That

1:11:19 > 1:11:24could have gone either way. The TMO's call and a penalty for Wales.

1:11:24 > 1:11:31Let's hope they can capitalise on it.If it goes over it will be no

1:11:31 > 1:11:35more than Wales deserve, to be honest.Guess.He's been here

1:11:35 > 1:11:48before. It's gone a little bit shorter. Neil Jenkins, who is way

1:11:48 > 1:11:54out in front as the Wales leading points scorer, takes his station

1:11:54 > 1:12:06behind Leigh Halfpenny. Third in the list. And creeping a little bit

1:12:06 > 1:12:09closer. Wales up to six.

1:12:12 > 1:12:18As we said on the balance of play that is no more than Wales deserve.

1:12:18 > 1:12:24Keep this up to the end of the half and as you say, Jonathan, doesn't

1:12:24 > 1:12:29matter if it's three points or how they get its, to make sure their

1:12:29 > 1:12:35Inco version 's are rewarded. Beauden Barrett a bit deeper this

1:12:35 > 1:12:44time-- there in Kers and is are rewarded.Steff Evans high towards

1:12:44 > 1:12:49Damian McKenzie. Barrett... He actually caught it effortlessly.

1:12:49 > 1:12:55Gareth Davies. A very clever kick by the Welsh scrum-half. Has the ball

1:12:55 > 1:13:03gone out? It has now, but that was fantastic by Gareth Davies.For a

1:13:03 > 1:13:08second I thought it was going to do a magic bounce and keep it in.

1:13:10 > 1:13:16There you are. 250 grand a week! LAUGHTER

1:13:16 > 1:13:24There you are. 250 grand a week! LAUGHTER. It was still in play.

1:13:24 > 1:13:31Damian McKenzie... New Zealand have the throw. Sam Whitelock goes to

1:13:31 > 1:13:47ground. And watches as Aaron Smith clears. Into touch...Referee Mac

1:13:47 > 1:13:50don't jump into the line, please.

1:13:52 > 1:13:58You get the feeling the longer this goes on, New Zealand will have 15

1:13:58 > 1:14:01minutes where they are on top, it's just whether Wales can score enough

1:14:01 > 1:14:07points to challenge that.Ken Owens, another one picked off by New

1:14:07 > 1:14:11Zealand. The Welsh line-out is not functioning, doesn't look

1:14:11 > 1:14:16comfortable leaving in the line-out, and this is what happens when Naholo

1:14:16 > 1:14:23comes away. You don't want too much of that. A little bit forward, Luke

1:14:23 > 1:14:27Whitelock into the Welsh half, is Vista start of Brian's quarter an

1:14:27 > 1:14:38hour? For the All Blacks. Sunny Britain -- Sonny Bill Williams

1:14:38 > 1:14:41doesn't risk the off-load.

1:14:48 > 1:14:59Shingler. Holds up Hames. Sonny Bill Williams, a new grubber kick, Steff

1:14:59 > 1:15:06Evans go back, Naholo, brilliant pass. Taylor the hooker, hence the

1:15:06 > 1:15:10scrum-half, Beauden Barrett comes back, penalty advantage New Zealand,

1:15:10 > 1:15:17Sam Whitelock the captain.Offside penalty advantage.Aaron Smith has

1:15:17 > 1:15:26it spelt out, your advantage, scrum-half.Free play.To makes a

1:15:26 > 1:15:31little pass, squirts out for Barrett, who drops it, but he knows

1:15:31 > 1:15:36he has this penalty, takes it quickly and is brought back --

1:15:36 > 1:15:40Tuipulotu makes a pass.

1:15:54 > 1:16:00Gareth Davies, 21.There were short of numbers, big call, this is, big

1:16:00 > 1:16:05call, great kick.New Zealand give up the three points. Steve Hansen,

1:16:05 > 1:16:14well, a rueful smile. This is going to work, he may be thinking. Very

1:16:14 > 1:16:22enticing five metre line-out, All Black throw. Other goes Tuipulotu,

1:16:22 > 1:16:29Wales get the charge, up comes Sam Cane, though. Smith checks, looks

1:16:29 > 1:16:41up, directs. Barrett, tackled by Owen Williams. Smith again. No way

1:16:41 > 1:16:46through for Luke Whitelock. His brother, Sam.

1:16:50 > 1:17:00Codie Taylor held up by Josh Navidi. Wales have a think about the

1:17:00 > 1:17:03turnover, Wayne Barnes gives the penalty against them, Sonny Bill

1:17:03 > 1:17:14Williams... Knock-on.Not ten, it is.Not ten, rather, still a penalty

1:17:14 > 1:17:23advantage to New Zealand.There's a load of space out wide.Ioane can't

1:17:23 > 1:17:30quite make the pass, can't quite reach the line. Just the penalty.

1:17:30 > 1:17:34Which at this stage feels like a reward for Wales, but it is the All

1:17:34 > 1:17:38Blacks, they have been on on the defensive for most of the half but

1:17:38 > 1:17:42here you go again, quickly.

1:17:46 > 1:17:50Still not there, quickly to Naholo... It's another brilliant

1:17:50 > 1:17:55finish by the winger.

1:17:59 > 1:18:06REFEREE:double-check it, we don't want to guess.For me, it's a try.

1:18:06 > 1:18:10As you mentioned earlier about momentum, romance is massive in

1:18:10 > 1:18:15sport and when you have it -- momentum is massive in sport and

1:18:15 > 1:18:19when you have it you have to put the points on the board. Very good

1:18:19 > 1:18:24finish again, difficult to stop this man from that distance.New Zealand

1:18:24 > 1:18:31are effectively seven minutes into the game.You may award the try.One

1:18:31 > 1:18:38look, a second try awarded by Naholo, and they have had two

1:18:38 > 1:18:43chances, New Zealand, and have come away with two tries. Sonny Bill

1:18:43 > 1:18:48Williams looking for the off-load. They have to be patient, and it's

1:18:48 > 1:18:52another one of those killer passes from Aaron Smith.So difficult to

1:18:52 > 1:18:57bring down, took three defenders and the two who had to cover were

1:18:57 > 1:19:02scrambling, couldn't quite get in position. Two set dragged in by the

1:19:02 > 1:19:09run. Sonny Bill had takensome defenders in.

1:19:16 > 1:19:22Beauden Barrett takes his time.

1:19:24 > 1:19:32He kicked one after Naholo scored his first try. This is another one

1:19:32 > 1:19:36from the corner. Kept it very low and flat that time. Roofe shut, no

1:19:36 > 1:19:48wind. -- the roof is shut.

1:19:59 > 1:20:10Not this time, slides it across the face. The All Blacks lead 12-6.

1:20:10 > 1:20:13Lovely pass, composure, picks the right man, defenders dragged into

1:20:13 > 1:20:25the ruck.Dan Biggar restarts into the New Zealand 22, caught by Aaron

1:20:25 > 1:20:32Smith. Leigh Halfpenny awaits, watches it go out. There will be

1:20:32 > 1:20:35time for this line-out.

1:20:39 > 1:20:43Ken Owens wants to take it quickly. This has been a problem area for

1:20:43 > 1:20:55Wales, the line-out. Safely down. Owen Williams. Hallam Amos cuts a

1:20:55 > 1:21:03great line, he has men outside, Dan Biggar, Scott Williams for the Lion,

1:21:03 > 1:21:13and it's a try by Wales! What a try! Brilliant, brilliant play, great

1:21:13 > 1:21:17support play, when you had the, that's the support you want to see.

1:21:17 > 1:21:21Great finish.

1:21:24 > 1:21:29And right on the stroke of half-time. Psychologically good.

1:21:29 > 1:21:34It's a brilliant play, Owen Williams round the back to Biggar and what an

1:21:34 > 1:21:41angle, as I said, Amos off the wing, doesn't panic, Biggar, Scott

1:21:41 > 1:21:46Williams, brilliant, that's what you have to see, get the wing is

1:21:46 > 1:21:50involved, brilliant line by Hallam Amos.Watch the All Black line-out,

1:21:50 > 1:21:55at the back they have two front row players so when the ball goes across

1:21:55 > 1:21:59and the inside run comes you don't have back row players covering and

1:21:59 > 1:22:04they are outpaced.Brilliant.The finish by Scott Williams but Owen

1:22:04 > 1:22:07Williams played his part two, doesn't he look comfortable on the

1:22:07 > 1:22:15international stage? -- his part as well. 50th cap for Scott Williams, a

1:22:15 > 1:22:20try on such a day.Big psychological tick, this could be.This to put

1:22:20 > 1:22:30Wales in the lead at half-time.

1:22:33 > 1:22:38It is half-time. New Zealand have the 1-point advantage. Wales 11-12

1:22:38 > 1:22:42New Zealand.

1:22:52 > 1:22:56STUDIO: The Principality Stadium is jumping, and who knows, we might be

1:22:56 > 1:23:0140 minutes or so away from a great moment in Welsh rugby history, but

1:23:01 > 1:23:04we will talk about the statistics in a moment in that first half. The

1:23:04 > 1:23:11bottom line of it is, it almost finished as a boxing competition,

1:23:11 > 1:23:14the referee might have stopped the fight but New Zealand had the

1:23:14 > 1:23:19punch-up was my chance and Naholo with two blows to the solar plexus

1:23:19 > 1:23:22of Wales, two tries so Scott Williams narrowed the margin at the

1:23:22 > 1:23:24end. Just one point in

1:23:24 > 1:23:25Williams narrowed the margin at the end. Just one point in it, and

1:23:25 > 1:23:31looking at the territorial facts, ultimately at the end of that half

1:23:31 > 1:23:35it was 73-27 territory as far as Wales and New Zealand were concerned

1:23:35 > 1:23:42but there was a .15 minutes in when it was 98-2, 90 8% of the game in

1:23:42 > 1:23:48the All Blacks half, 2% in the Welsh half, yet New Zealand lead at

1:23:48 > 1:23:48half-time,

1:23:48 > 1:23:51half, yet New Zealand lead at half-time, so the question to ask

1:23:51 > 1:23:57is, Sam, how?Accuracy. You always talk about line breaks, the only way

1:23:57 > 1:24:01you get line breaks these days is from a missed tackle, and that's

1:24:01 > 1:24:05what we have seen recently. Sounds obvious but can you complete line

1:24:05 > 1:24:09breaks. New Zealand are the best in the world at that which is why I am

1:24:09 > 1:24:13pleased to see the way we bounced back.

1:24:13 > 1:24:19, try first phase. We will come back to the try but you have to complete

1:24:19 > 1:24:22your line breaks.Martin, you were getting frustrated because the first

1:24:22 > 1:24:2750 minutes was all Wales then one moment of magic and New Zealand are

1:24:27 > 1:24:32off.I wouldn't say magic, it is what they have got, the All Blacks,

1:24:32 > 1:24:37X factor players like Ioane. They defend well, Wales, in the right

1:24:37 > 1:24:45places, it is just a missed tackle, easy penalty for Wales releasing

1:24:45 > 1:24:52pressure on the All Blacks. Wayne Barton from that line-out, look at

1:24:52 > 1:24:56the defences, Dan Biggar flying up, using line speed, one missed tackle

1:24:56 > 1:25:02by Evans and they make them play. Support play superb, they don't come

1:25:02 > 1:25:06panic, composure on the ball and an unbelievable finish. What a finish.

1:25:06 > 1:25:12You see this time after time from New Zealand, quick, quick cock,

1:25:12 > 1:25:22slow, slow, quick, quick. The execution, yes, it is... There is a

1:25:22 > 1:25:25break but instinctively they flow through and the options for the ball

1:25:25 > 1:25:30carrier are various.It is the patient's Aaron Smith has, he knows

1:25:30 > 1:25:34someone is coming so he doesn't have to rush it.For the All Blacks, it

1:25:34 > 1:25:38is the end of a long season for these guys and I don't know if in

1:25:38 > 1:25:41the build-up this week while whatever Steve Hansen may have been

1:25:41 > 1:25:46saying to them, the guys on their own have been saying, are you going

1:25:46 > 1:25:57to Tahiti, what beach are you

1:25:58 > 1:26:01guys going to? Is there an element that this is a tired team looking

1:26:01 > 1:26:04for the final round?Yes, we won't make any excuses but I know in the

1:26:04 > 1:26:07back of their heads there is the element that this is the final game,

1:26:07 > 1:26:10my family and I are going on holiday after this. It is hard to block out.

1:26:10 > 1:26:13We saw a little of that last week, may be an element tonight but it has

1:26:13 > 1:26:16been snapped out of them quickly because we have a real Test match

1:26:16 > 1:26:20now.Wales have to seize the moment but then Naholo scores a second try

1:26:20 > 1:26:25having said that.You are questioning why, that this is what

1:26:25 > 1:26:28they do, full of confidence, could have scored three or four times

1:26:28 > 1:26:32before that. They go wide, they don't pick and go around the corner,

1:26:32 > 1:26:38they make it difficult to defend, and this much in the end, Naholo. It

1:26:38 > 1:26:42is the confidence.Is what you sad at the top of the show, you need to

1:26:42 > 1:26:47take more of a gamble. New Zealand would see that as a gamble. Take the

1:26:47 > 1:26:57penalty under the sticks, most northern hemisphere teams would have

1:26:57 > 1:27:00taken the three points but you need to give New Zealand credit, they are

1:27:00 > 1:27:03bold and plague and get the reward. We also see the intensity close to

1:27:03 > 1:27:05the line. Sam mentions northern hemisphere teams, I don't think

1:27:05 > 1:27:08there is any in the world that plays with that intensity ten metres from

1:27:08 > 1:27:12the try line with the accuracy. They must rehearse it and rehearse it, it

1:27:12 > 1:27:18is fantastic to see.An amazing switchback game. We all said that

1:27:18 > 1:27:22was a crucial conversion that Beauden Barrett had to take it from

1:27:22 > 1:27:2612-6 up to 14-6 because that psychologically is huge, then Wales

1:27:26 > 1:27:37score anyway.Credit to rails, they wanted to get the line-out -- credit

1:27:37 > 1:27:43to Wales. This is what we have, we haven't finished tries off, good

1:27:43 > 1:27:47patients and he was never not going to score from there but a great

1:27:47 > 1:27:50setup from the backline.Wales have struggled in the line-up all the

1:27:50 > 1:27:55first half and presume Alun Wyn or Aaron Shingler called the line-out.

1:27:55 > 1:28:02Simple ball to the front, just win it. This is one of their strengths.

1:28:02 > 1:28:08Easy ball to the front to Shingles is great.Amos beat funny bill

1:28:08 > 1:28:15without the ball. That was a fantastic decision -- beat Sonny

1:28:15 > 1:28:21Bill Williams.We have to applaud great set piece play.I thought

1:28:21 > 1:28:26Beauden Barrett was nowhere near it. It was the play, the options, the

1:28:26 > 1:28:30movement, the distraction enabled Amos to go through. Fantastic line,

1:28:30 > 1:28:35you couldn't pick it, then the sport, fabulous.We spoke last week

1:28:35 > 1:28:38about the aerial battle because Scotland kicked well against the All

1:28:38 > 1:28:42Blacks last week and Wales are winning that battle today without a

1:28:42 > 1:28:46shadow of a doubt.It is noticeable here in the first kick of the game

1:28:46 > 1:28:50and from here Wales had a run of 19 phases and this is where they are

1:28:50 > 1:28:54building pressure, through ball in the air with an advantage and the

1:28:54 > 1:28:57All Blacks will look at this at half-time. It is putting unnecessary

1:28:57 > 1:29:04pressure on them and building momentum for Wales.You can't play

1:29:04 > 1:29:08with the ball in hand for 80 minutes. If you have a kicked like

1:29:08 > 1:29:13that, for example, this is a Biggar trademark, 30 metres gain from one

1:29:13 > 1:29:19kick chase that is why you can't keep playing. It is a tactic.We

1:29:19 > 1:29:23focused on Rowe Evans at the start of the football saying he was

1:29:23 > 1:29:26typical on Welsh forwards in inter-passing, have we seen more of

1:29:26 > 1:29:33that tonight?It is brilliant to see, simple passes, what difference

1:29:33 > 1:29:37they make to an attacking team. So often we have seen our forwards

1:29:37 > 1:29:43carried the ball. There is an option inside, Cory Hill has come on. Watch

1:29:43 > 1:29:47what this does to a defence, a simple inside ball. Five or ten

1:29:47 > 1:29:52metres over the gain line, on the front foot. We haven't seen that

1:29:52 > 1:29:56from Wales, this is brilliant, Faletau first receiver, we know his

1:29:56 > 1:30:00skills but this is an example of Alun Wyn being cute and getting in

1:30:00 > 1:30:04front of the ball. Watch this, simple passing, execution on the

1:30:04 > 1:30:09outside could be better but what they are trying to do is fantastic.

1:30:09 > 1:30:14Watch when it comes back, again, Faletau at first receiver and it is

1:30:14 > 1:30:21a simple pop. So difficult to defend against. Again, no New Zealand

1:30:21 > 1:30:24players in contact contesting for the ball, just a lovely tip on board

1:30:24 > 1:30:30from Faletau. You would love to be playing out there, Sam, but simple

1:30:30 > 1:30:36things done well make such a difference.

1:30:36 > 1:30:39They are denying the All Blacks ball, they haven't been able to

1:30:39 > 1:30:46play.A lot of those examples were indicative of the New Zealanders not

1:30:46 > 1:30:50committing to rucks so we can criticise Wales for not making

1:30:50 > 1:30:54breaks but there are 15 black jerseys all lined up not giving them

1:30:54 > 1:30:58any space.The tackle rules have changed a bit so the tackle can't

1:30:58 > 1:31:03get offside now. Watching the New Zealand boys every time they make a

1:31:03 > 1:31:06tackle its bouncing straight back to the feet, they've got 15 guys on the

1:31:06 > 1:31:10defensive line every time which is why Wales are fighting faces

1:31:10 > 1:31:13differently to the rest. That is why the kicking option might be better.

1:31:13 > 1:31:17All moving the point of contact. New Zealand aren't committing at the

1:31:17 > 1:31:21breakdown.We are winning the advantage line, the All Blacks

1:31:21 > 1:31:24coming fast off the line, getting the advantage line, allowing them to

1:31:24 > 1:31:27get off their feet because the Wales players are returning and getting

1:31:27 > 1:31:31behind their player.We thought this could be the moment and it wasn't,

1:31:31 > 1:31:39this break...He's had a superb autumn. He's such a physical, fit to

1:31:39 > 1:31:43play. Indicative of the difference just before that try, before

1:31:43 > 1:31:47half-time, how Wales are putting themselves in places. Simple errors,

1:31:47 > 1:31:52taking the pressure. He's had a real standout autumn so far. As a hooker

1:31:52 > 1:31:57he struggled. Great play from Navidi.A shame because Davies is

1:31:57 > 1:32:02coming in as struggle half but Wyn Jones takes it upon himself, the

1:32:02 > 1:32:08execution just not right. -- coming in as scrum-half. Leigh Halfpenny

1:32:08 > 1:32:13missed the conversion at the end, Mr penalty early on, tiny margins. A

1:32:13 > 1:32:171-point game, you're not going anywhere for the next hour and sure.

1:32:17 > 1:32:20If you weren't watching earlier today you missed a truly

1:32:20 > 1:32:21extraordinary game at Murrayfield.

1:32:26 > 1:32:31Couple of messy line-outs. One from either side so far. This was

1:32:31 > 1:32:35straight and good to McCalman from more. Get it deep. Missing a chance

1:32:35 > 1:32:43for McGuigan. McGuigan, can he control, can he win the race? Still

1:32:43 > 1:32:51going... McGuigan scores for Scotland. Jones out to see more.

1:32:51 > 1:32:54Foley, a chance to counter. A chip and chase. Bernard Foley winning the

1:32:54 > 1:33:02race at the moment. The off-load, the try. Kuridrani once again.

1:33:02 > 1:33:07Again, the restart follows a familiar route to McMahon.

1:33:07 > 1:33:12McMahon... Nice carry from McMahon, the number three we're looking at

1:33:12 > 1:33:22here.It's a red card for me.Got to try and take advantage of that man

1:33:22 > 1:33:28over in the final seconds of the first half. Ali Price whipping on,

1:33:28 > 1:33:33driving towards the line, reserves being summoned. Tries to stretch and

1:33:33 > 1:33:43he gets it down. Try it says the referee. STUDIO: That was the first

1:33:43 > 1:33:46half, the second half it was like watching Hong Kong sevens on

1:33:46 > 1:33:49occasion, Scotland throwing the ball all over the place. Jones with

1:33:49 > 1:33:54another try for Scotland. Obviously playing 50 minutes with 14 men

1:33:54 > 1:33:57didn't help the Wallabies cause but notwithstanding that, Scotland got

1:33:57 > 1:34:01to the half-century and it has to be one of the great performances by a

1:34:01 > 1:34:06Scottish rugby team in an awful long time. Gregor Townsend is certainly

1:34:06 > 1:34:13working miracles at Murrayfield. Anyway, the final score today was

1:34:13 > 1:34:1853-24 to Scotland. You can see Argentina are 13-0 up on Argentina.

1:34:18 > 1:34:22Italy thumped at home by South Africa. Georgia just beating the

1:34:22 > 1:34:27USA. A good away win for Tonga, Fiji beating Canada. France play in Japan

1:34:27 > 1:34:40tonight and England against a Sam -- Samoa. Talking about England playing

1:34:40 > 1:34:42rugby, they are playing rugby league next weekend against Australia in

1:34:42 > 1:34:45the World Cup final.

1:34:46 > 1:34:54I want to win, I want that trophy. Away here goes. Six of the best for

1:34:54 > 1:35:04Valentine homes.Winner with a pass. They are going to Brisbane next week

1:35:04 > 1:35:06for the World Cup final.

1:35:06 > 1:35:08They are going to Brisbane next week for the World Cup final.We saw a

1:35:08 > 1:35:12few bits and bobs from Murrayfield today. Jerry what did you think,

1:35:12 > 1:35:16when you look at that diluting Scotland are really on the rise now?

1:35:16 > 1:35:19They are backed up from last week, thought they might have spend

1:35:19 > 1:35:23themselves but the fitness levels are right up there with a lot of

1:35:23 > 1:35:26international sides now. The skill set is there, the accuracy of the

1:35:26 > 1:35:29passing. The support is great, the ambition. Gregor has just instilled

1:35:29 > 1:35:35this belief, people might question sides that lose from time to time.

1:35:35 > 1:35:40He's gone from Glasgow and into the national side. I think they are

1:35:40 > 1:35:43playing with that authority and understanding, the attacking shape

1:35:43 > 1:35:47is fantastic. They are from that performance and last week going to

1:35:47 > 1:35:52be a huge threat in the Six Nations. Wales Scotland is the first match in

1:35:52 > 1:35:56the Six Nations.Scotland at Murrayfield is a difficult place to

1:35:56 > 1:36:02play now. A home game for Wales, Scotland, France and Italy at home,

1:36:02 > 1:36:05I'm glad we've got them at home, going to Murrayfield is a tough ask,

1:36:05 > 1:36:09how they've developed, could be difficult to beat at home.I use a

1:36:09 > 1:36:12pride Scotland have moved on from last week?I was worried about the

1:36:12 > 1:36:15emotional drain that came out of last week before the All Blacks and

1:36:15 > 1:36:20Scotland but they've shown they can do it week on week, they'll be a

1:36:20 > 1:36:24troublesome opposition in the Six Nations.The All Blacks are back on

1:36:24 > 1:36:28the field waiting for Wales. This is a big moment, Martin. For all the

1:36:28 > 1:36:34Welsh players, they know all that has been said in the weeks leading

1:36:34 > 1:36:39up, they are one point away from writing their place, their names in

1:36:39 > 1:36:43Welsh history.They can't think about that, there's a lot of rugby

1:36:43 > 1:36:47to go, we were there or thereabouts 60, 70 minutes and New Zealand pull

1:36:47 > 1:36:52away. They've been fantastic in the first half. This New Zealand side

1:36:52 > 1:36:55are going to come in, the benches are going to be keen. Wales have had

1:36:55 > 1:36:58to go to the bench early with injuries. Hopefully it hasn't come

1:36:58 > 1:37:03back to bite them.Sam what are your thoughts with 40 minutes to go?More

1:37:03 > 1:37:08of the same. Get into the half and try to get away with some points.

1:37:08 > 1:37:11They will have a game plan with the coaches, they'll chat about it at

1:37:11 > 1:37:16half-time. When you get into 6070 minutes and you still stick to that?

1:37:16 > 1:37:22There might be key turning points. -- 60, 70 minutes.Do they keep

1:37:22 > 1:37:27playing like the new Wales or is it about being Conservative?Keep

1:37:27 > 1:37:31playing, you have to play, have to score tries.Seize the moment, 64

1:37:31 > 1:37:33years of hurt for them. Eddie Butler... COMMENTATOR:

1:37:33 > 1:37:37years of hurt for them. Eddie Butler... COMMENTATOR: 40 minutes to

1:37:37 > 1:37:42go, New Zealand have made one change at half-time in the front row.

1:37:42 > 1:37:51Tu'ungafasi is on. No changes on the Welsh side. Though they had to make

1:37:51 > 1:38:00two in the first half. Josh Navidi's storming run at the end of that

1:38:00 > 1:38:05first half. The Welsh coaching setup, what will they have said at

1:38:05 > 1:38:20half-time? The All Blacks in the third quarter are so dangerous.

1:38:23 > 1:38:33Patrick Tuipulotu charges forward to. Liam Squire... Damian McKenzie

1:38:33 > 1:38:38keeps it on the field. Dan Biggar goes up, dropped it. Advantage New

1:38:38 > 1:38:45Zealand. Knock-on. A mistake by Wales. Advantage over. Leigh

1:38:45 > 1:38:50Halfpenny. No pressure there. Gets away from Sam Whitelock. Leigh

1:38:50 > 1:38:56Halfpenny runs into the other second ruck. To be blotted. It could be

1:38:56 > 1:39:01comfortable but Halfpenny did well. Faletau tries to go outside Sonny

1:39:01 > 1:39:15Bill Williams. Rob Evans... Takes on the new player, Tu'ungafasi. Gareth

1:39:15 > 1:39:23Davies. Owen Williams in pursuit. It's gone one way. Cory Hill to

1:39:23 > 1:39:31wins. Dan Biggar. Scott Williams, more direct, doesn't risk the

1:39:31 > 1:39:42off-load that time. Ken Owens, Dan Biggar. Owen Williams. Faletau.

1:39:42 > 1:39:48Can't get away from Liam Squire. Hallam Amos does get away from

1:39:48 > 1:39:52Ioane, goes loose. Owen Williams has it. Alun Wyn Jones picks up the

1:39:52 > 1:39:56bouncing ball. Still there for Wales. Just outside, now inside the

1:39:56 > 1:40:04All Black half.

1:40:10 > 1:40:17Wayne Barnes organises the hands. The change by Dan Biggar. Damian

1:40:17 > 1:40:21McKenzie. Beauden Barrett calms everything down. Looks for a bit of

1:40:21 > 1:40:37space. Amos... Amos appended. We gathered by Owen Williams. Cory

1:40:37 > 1:40:52Hill. Faletau. Gets away from Luke Whitelock. Cory Hill spins away from

1:40:52 > 1:41:07Sam Cane. Cory Hill... Does very well to recover. Amos with the

1:41:07 > 1:41:10switch of play. Ken Owens. Good strength against Sonny Bill Williams

1:41:10 > 1:41:18from the Welsh hooker. Brilliant. Wales happy to switch play. Dan

1:41:18 > 1:41:23Biggar high towards the 22. Beauden Barrett tripped up. Parties to

1:41:23 > 1:41:27McKenzie. Josh Navidi with the tackle on the dangerous Damian

1:41:27 > 1:41:35McKenzie. Mistakes by the All Blacks. Again, they can be dangerous

1:41:35 > 1:41:45from anywhere. Ioane held up by Alun Wyn Jones. Down now. Barrett keeps

1:41:45 > 1:41:50the ball alive. Halfpenny comes up to get it. Halfpenny dragged down

1:41:50 > 1:42:06near the halfway line. Gareth Davies. Steff Evans.

1:42:10 > 1:42:22Tomas Francis. All fine at the breakdown. Alun Wyn Jones. Good

1:42:22 > 1:42:30passing. Steph Evans. Wales is slightly dancing on the spot. Owen

1:42:30 > 1:42:34Williams to Dan Biggar. Scott Williams delayed the pastor Leigh

1:42:34 > 1:42:39Halfpenny. Amos steps up. No scrum-half. That out for Liam

1:42:39 > 1:42:52Squire. Liam Squire not held. Tu'ungafasi picks up. Advantage

1:42:52 > 1:43:01being played. A high tackle. Get away from Ken Owens. Sonny Bill

1:43:01 > 1:43:06Williams, tackle, just enough from Alun Wyn Jones. That is excellent

1:43:06 > 1:43:11work by the Welsh second row, because that man, Sonny Bill

1:43:11 > 1:43:17Williams, is so dangerous.Five minute into the second half... What

1:43:17 > 1:43:23a start. Wales have to turn this into a dogfight. As Sam Warburton

1:43:23 > 1:43:26said, you have to keep on playing the way they played. The key thing

1:43:26 > 1:43:31for me is to play in the right areas. If we can keep New Zealand in

1:43:31 > 1:43:36their own half, they all look tired. Beauden Barrett looks disinterested

1:43:36 > 1:43:41at the moment. Great opportunity to play in the right areas.Apologies

1:43:41 > 1:43:45if you heard any bad language. Crotty Aaron Smith having his own

1:43:45 > 1:43:50conversation.I'd like to see Wales taking the ball into contact, just

1:43:50 > 1:43:56off-loading inside outside, to get it beyond. When they are hitting the

1:43:56 > 1:44:00gain line, they are not making many yards. When you hit from the contact

1:44:00 > 1:44:03at that point onwards, that gets the momentum, starts things going

1:44:03 > 1:44:08forward. They can vary with off-load and support lines when they keep the

1:44:08 > 1:44:10ball forward. Especially with the forwards, they will be much more

1:44:10 > 1:44:21effective.To show how well they are doing, we haven't seen anything,

1:44:21 > 1:44:25really, of Beauden Barrett and McKenzie. They've been under the

1:44:25 > 1:44:32cosh. Wales have had a majority of possession.It has been a breathless

1:44:32 > 1:44:40start the second half. The front row has evolved on both sides. Beauden

1:44:40 > 1:44:53Barrett... He's out in the centre on defensive duty. All Blacks, good

1:44:53 > 1:44:59scrummage. Faletau does very well. A retreating scrummage. Excellent play

1:44:59 > 1:45:06by the Welsh number eight. Dan Biggar has time to clear. A good

1:45:06 > 1:45:16clearance kick, too.Faletau doing well. Ken Owens getting stuck in the

1:45:16 > 1:45:22second row which means he has to take his contribution to the shelf

1:45:22 > 1:45:34to reach in and pick the ball up. Liam Squire... The All Blacks try to

1:45:34 > 1:45:40absorb the Welsh forwards into a driving maul. Aaron Smith. Told to

1:45:40 > 1:45:52play it. Line at Brown. Dan Biggar tries to rip the ball clear. Aaron

1:45:52 > 1:45:58Smith is injured. Get the pass away. But that hurt him. Squire. Scott

1:45:58 > 1:46:02Williams can't rip the ball off him. Hallam Amos goes in. He has stolen

1:46:02 > 1:46:08the ball. Wales on turnover ball. One player down. Scott Williams, Rob

1:46:08 > 1:46:19Evans. Dan Biggar. Owen Williams. Gareth Davies. Scrum-half in a wide

1:46:19 > 1:46:22offside position. McKenzie casually sets off then bursts forward. Leigh

1:46:22 > 1:46:32Halfpenny with the tackle. New Zealand back in possession. Beauden

1:46:32 > 1:46:35Barrett to Sonny Bill Williams, another off-load to Anton

1:46:35 > 1:46:46Lienert-Brown. Sonny Bill Williams arrives. The new player,

1:46:46 > 1:46:54Tu'ungafasi, stretches out in the end to deliver. Squire.A lot of men

1:46:54 > 1:47:04on the right-hand side for New Zealand here.Sam Cane. Naholo going

1:47:04 > 1:47:07for the hat-trick. It's back. Watched by Gareth Davies. 22 drop

1:47:07 > 1:47:16out.They are attacking very narrow at the moment. On the left-hand

1:47:16 > 1:47:20side, no one in the outer channels. Bit of luck to create that... I

1:47:20 > 1:47:30think this was intentional... Maybe it was. Great class. It's a real,

1:47:30 > 1:47:34real Test match. Ferocious out there. Very quick. Trying to put the

1:47:34 > 1:47:41ball through the hands. Great hit. The combination with Ken Owens and

1:47:41 > 1:47:44Rob Evans has been brilliant. They played for Scarlets together, they

1:47:44 > 1:47:51run off each other.Here is Tomas Francis. His game may be over soon.

1:47:51 > 1:47:55New Zealand have made changes. Number 19 is on, Scott Barrett. And

1:47:55 > 1:48:07number 20, Matt Todd. Changes in the All Blacks pack.Scott Williams is

1:48:07 > 1:48:20down as well. Being wrapped up. Here is Beauden Barrett, his brother.

1:48:25 > 1:48:32Tomas Francis... Not comfortable at all. Scott Williams is up and about.

1:48:32 > 1:48:46Tomas Francis is up. Dan Biggar. To Beauden Barrett. McKenzie cuts back

1:48:46 > 1:49:02the other way. With such ease he beats the first tackle.

1:49:02 > 1:49:10Drive further forwards. Barrett cuts back. Excellent grip. Aaron Shingler

1:49:10 > 1:49:15with the rip. Steph Evans, Scott Williams with the little dummy. Owen

1:49:15 > 1:49:25Williams. Another redshirt down. Penalty advantage. Wales might want

1:49:25 > 1:49:28to calm things down till they have all the players back on their feet.

1:49:28 > 1:49:34Scott Williams is down. Aaron Shingler tries the off-load. They

1:49:34 > 1:49:39knew there was an advantage being played, now Wales, are they with him

1:49:39 > 1:49:45kicking range?I think they are. Gareth Davies is down injured.

1:49:45 > 1:49:53Anywhere in the All Blacks half is certainly Halfpenny's range.The

1:49:53 > 1:49:59penalty... Sonny Bill is too slow rolling away, makes the tackle. He

1:49:59 > 1:50:04goes inside, just watch. As he goes down he lays on for a bit. And then

1:50:04 > 1:50:12rolls away. Too slow penalty.Gareth Davies perhaps winded in that

1:50:12 > 1:50:17previous incident. Penalty Wales. Leigh Halfpenny has left it for Dan

1:50:17 > 1:50:24Biggar, going to the corner.A tough gig, that is, a very tough kick.

1:50:24 > 1:50:39Great kick, Dan Biggar.Superb by Dan Biggar. Applause for the kick.

1:50:39 > 1:50:49The crowd changes applause to a rising sense of anticipation.They

1:50:49 > 1:50:55can do the business now. Need to construct this well.Navidi... Sam

1:50:55 > 1:51:01Cane on his opposite number. It's gone free. Sam Whitelock comes away

1:51:01 > 1:51:07with it. It's the line-out causing Wales problems. The All Blacks

1:51:07 > 1:51:15messing around in their own 22. A loose old game. Damian McKenzie.

1:51:15 > 1:51:21Under pressure.I have to say Beauden Barrett is an amazing

1:51:21 > 1:51:26player. Today he's having a quiet game, doesn't look interested. I

1:51:26 > 1:51:30think Wales have got to try to isolate him defensively. Whether

1:51:30 > 1:51:34it's the high kick to him running at him. Is not permitted defensively at

1:51:34 > 1:51:41the moment and they have to be aware of that and make the most of it.

1:51:41 > 1:51:46Wales have to regroup, talk amongst the forwards, tell Ken Owens, where

1:51:46 > 1:51:52is it going? Shingler. Navidi. Owen Williams in midfield. It's well

1:51:52 > 1:51:57presented by him. Under heavy pressure. Ken Owens. Gareth Davies.

1:51:57 > 1:52:05Leigh Halfpenny. Tackled, thrown down by Anton Lienert-Brown. Dragged

1:52:05 > 1:52:14towards the touchline but the ball kept infield. Navidi. Dan Biggar.

1:52:14 > 1:52:24Owen Williams on the loop. Scott, Steph Evans of his wing. This time

1:52:24 > 1:52:30the penalty against Wales at the breakdown. Four

1:52:41 > 1:52:53you can't run up and start pointing at things. Your choice, your choice.

1:52:53 > 1:53:05Can restart...Of course you can. Beauden Barrett takes his time.

1:53:05 > 1:53:10Doesn't go for the corner.They want possession, they've been starved of

1:53:10 > 1:53:13possession. They've been under the cosh. Here is the tackle. He's

1:53:13 > 1:53:21holding on, straight over.Turns the wrong way. He lands facing the

1:53:21 > 1:53:28opposition goal line.Codie Taylor. Wales got hands to it. But Barrett

1:53:28 > 1:53:37not so disinterested now. His brother comes in, Scott Barrett.

1:53:37 > 1:53:45Smith. Naholo. Owen Williams tackles, comes through on the All

1:53:45 > 1:53:59Blacks side. Tu'ungafasi. Ioane. Talking of strength, he has it in

1:53:59 > 1:54:07abundance. Matt Todd. One of the replacements. The other, Scott

1:54:07 > 1:54:13Barrett. Wales have turned it over. Jolly Shingler comes away with it.

1:54:13 > 1:54:19If they dare run from here, Ken Owens, little dummy and go up to the

1:54:19 > 1:54:2522. Still in Welsh hands. They might have numbers here. Owen Williams

1:54:25 > 1:54:30says territory first, let's get down here. Damian McKenzie. Scott

1:54:30 > 1:54:39Williams. Is beaten. McKenzie is very elusive. Sonny Bill Williams to

1:54:39 > 1:54:49Codie Taylor. Sam Cane. Swooped on the ball, can't quite get it. Sam

1:54:49 > 1:55:03Whitelock. Barrett to Naholo. Cory Hill, hand under the boot. Barrett.

1:55:03 > 1:55:13Hallam Amos read the kick. To Leigh Halfpenny. Halfpenny...So far a

1:55:13 > 1:55:16brilliant Test match. Both sides giving it absolutely everything and

1:55:16 > 1:55:21there's nothing in it. One piece of magic and a missed tackle can't

1:55:21 > 1:55:29decide this. As I said, they have to play in the right areas, when New

1:55:29 > 1:55:34Zealand get into the Welsh 22 they look very threatening.Squire again.

1:55:34 > 1:55:43A charge from Ioane off his wing. Squire again. Dan Biggar fearlessly

1:55:43 > 1:55:48flies upon him.

1:55:52 > 1:55:56Barrett pauses. Two and online at Brown. Again, Dan Biggar with Ken

1:55:56 > 1:56:03Owens who makes the tackle. Aaron Smith. Had a little go himself.

1:56:03 > 1:56:08Meaning Barrett has to play scrum-half.Scott Williams is

1:56:08 > 1:56:14calling them over.Matt Todd set it up. Here is Barrett. McKenzie.

1:56:14 > 1:56:21Doctor into the tackle. Wales can't turn it over. Sam Cane has it. They

1:56:21 > 1:56:34come the other way. Kane Hames. Sonny Bill Williams gives it to

1:56:34 > 1:56:44Anton Lienert-Brown. Ioane and Anton Lienert-Brown in support goes to the

1:56:44 > 1:56:51posts and New Zealand stretch away. Appear to be no real danger in

1:56:51 > 1:57:00Wales, they matched the numbers defensively. The ball was spilled

1:57:00 > 1:57:08from the tackle.Brilliant, good run. Tries to play the off-load

1:57:08 > 1:57:13doesn't he. A very fortunate bounce for the New Zealanders. Fortune

1:57:13 > 1:57:18favours the brave. What he gets on the outside. Winger went for the

1:57:18 > 1:57:21off-load. I don't think you meant to balance it quite like that. He kept

1:57:21 > 1:57:35the ball alive and that was the main thing. The conversion is good. New

1:57:35 > 1:57:42Zealand beat Wales at principality stadium. 11 to Wales. 19 to New

1:57:42 > 1:57:48Zealand.Watching from this angle, gone backwards. But his left-hand

1:57:48 > 1:57:57arm free. If you chase a lost cause, as Anton Lienert-Brown did,

1:57:57 > 1:58:04sometimes you get the reward. A big ten minutes for Wales. Let's see how

1:58:04 > 1:58:15they respond.They really need a score don't they. Tu'ungafasi

1:58:15 > 1:58:19receiving treatment. He's been thoroughly bashed about like

1:58:19 > 1:58:24everybody who's been on for 57 minutes.Some big hits, it's

1:58:24 > 1:58:34ferocious, absolutely ferocious. You can feel every hit.There have been

1:58:34 > 1:58:38extended stretches of play going on for multiple, multiple phases, it's

1:58:38 > 1:58:42made it very enjoyable to watch. Scott Williams goes off, Jamie

1:58:42 > 1:58:53Roberts comes on. Also changes in the front row. Wyn Jones is on as

1:58:53 > 1:59:01prop. Scott Barrett goes up.

1:59:04 > 1:59:13Leigh Halfpenny rises.Good counterattacking by New Zealand,

1:59:13 > 1:59:21very good counter ruck. He had to do it didn't he. Francis had to come

1:59:21 > 1:59:30and rescue the situation. But he was from the side.Beauden Barrett again

1:59:30 > 1:59:36takes his time. Methodical. Turn the screw. Start again deep in Welsh

1:59:36 > 1:59:46territory.Watch the counter rugby, it moves the offside line much

1:59:46 > 2:00:10further back. Thomas is in front of it. -- counter ruck.Codie Taylor.

2:00:10 > 2:00:14Scott Barrett wins the line-out.

2:00:23 > 2:00:24It is moving

2:00:24 > 2:00:30It is moving forward at an increasing pace. Danger here for

2:00:30 > 2:00:39Wales. They have got it to ground, and what's more, they've got

2:00:39 > 2:00:45themselves the foot in.Wales have done well, driving maul legally,

2:00:45 > 2:00:50Faletau getting into the middle of that.Smith had the opportunity to

2:00:50 > 2:00:54get it out there because we heard Barnes saying, that is the last time

2:00:54 > 2:01:01he had the opportunity to get it out. Faletau got his hands in there.

2:01:01 > 2:01:12That is very -- a very important turnover.Kane Hames is coming off

2:01:12 > 2:01:19the field and Wyatt Crockett is coming on.Most scrum-halves are

2:01:19 > 2:01:24like referees, aren't they? Matty Williams said the best referee he

2:01:24 > 2:01:36had was Georgie Gregan. He was just amazing.REFEREE:Stability and

2:01:36 > 2:01:48space. Crouch.The last defensive scrum Wales had, Taulupe Faletau had

2:01:48 > 2:01:55some difficult duty to perform. The All Blacks put on the squeeze, this

2:01:55 > 2:02:00time it goes down, referee allows it to play on, Jamie Roberts to Owen

2:02:00 > 2:02:03Williams, Biggar on the loop to Halfpenny, can't get around

2:02:03 > 2:02:15Lienert-Brown. It is their for Wales. Navidi. Squire tries to

2:02:15 > 2:02:22wrestle the ball away and is then unceremoniously packed back. Damian

2:02:22 > 2:02:26McKenzie weights. Steff Evans arrives and makes the tackle.

2:02:32 > 2:02:42Forward pass.You don't see many of those now, Brian.Not happy again,

2:02:42 > 2:02:53Smith. Let's look at this. Great angle here. It's forward.I thought

2:02:53 > 2:02:58he got back at the far side, how come this side and have a look.

2:02:58 > 2:03:02Still plenty of time left in this match, the atmosphere has dropped a

2:03:02 > 2:03:06little after the New Zealand score. Now the crowd need to get behind

2:03:06 > 2:03:10their side because there is still a long time to go with tired players

2:03:10 > 2:03:18out there. There will be opportunities.The All Blacks have

2:03:18 > 2:03:25been more effective at playing the game.They are so good in the third

2:03:25 > 2:03:34quarter. Gareth Davies takes the free kick quickly. Owen Williams to

2:03:34 > 2:03:38Halfpenny, Amos slightly on his own out there so Halfpenny doesn't give

2:03:38 > 2:03:50him the ball and expose him. Oh... Rieko Ioane gets the pass and scored

2:03:50 > 2:03:54the try, and that could be it.

2:03:56 > 2:04:02You didn't have to work too hard for it. It was very much telegraphed.He

2:04:02 > 2:04:07read it well but the pass wasn't needed to be honest because he had a

2:04:07 > 2:04:12one-on-one with Ioane, he read the pass and just came inside his man.

2:04:12 > 2:04:18Just watch, the past didn't have to go, hold it, there you go, we didn't

2:04:18 > 2:04:29see the intercept, didn't see the pass. And that's the relief. It's

2:04:29 > 2:04:34not the toughest try his ever scored. Just watch it here, again,

2:04:34 > 2:04:38throws it blind, he reads it so, so early, and should have just wrapped

2:04:38 > 2:04:47it up, either gone inside or held the ball.

2:04:50 > 2:04:59The wingers have scored three tries. Naholo two, Ioane one. Anton

2:04:59 > 2:05:02Lienert-Brown, the replacement at centre has scored New Zealand's

2:05:02 > 2:05:07other tries.Now it gets dangerous, when there had tired bodies, and

2:05:07 > 2:05:13this man, Mr Barrett, and McKenzie, will want a very active role in the

2:05:13 > 2:05:18next 15 or 16 minutes.They have the luxury now, they can pump the ball

2:05:18 > 2:05:23for territory and say to Wales, if you want to go 60, 75 metres, off

2:05:23 > 2:05:28you go, but then the game opens up and their runners have much more

2:05:28 > 2:05:35space.He helped himself to 26 points on his own last time. New

2:05:35 > 2:05:41Zealand together have scored 26 today. This, Rieko Ioane scoring

2:05:41 > 2:05:45their fourth try. The change at outside-half for Wales, Rhys

2:05:45 > 2:05:50Priestland comes on to win his 50th cap.A little like a shepherd 's

2:05:50 > 2:05:58crook, I think.A change at scrum-half for New Zealand as well,

2:05:58 > 2:06:02TJ Perenara is on.

2:06:03 > 2:06:11Will be interesting to see how this gentleman goes. He has played with

2:06:11 > 2:06:14confidence at Bath and maybe their style of Wales are trying to play he

2:06:14 > 2:06:25might have been the choice of ten. -- the style that Wales are trying

2:06:25 > 2:06:29to play.That hasn't happened very often, ball from the line-up for

2:06:29 > 2:06:34Wales, change of tactics, Hallam Amos gets it, Josh Navidi. Liam

2:06:34 > 2:06:40Squire gets back, Davies again, sells the dummy, Davies against

2:06:40 > 2:06:47Damian McKenzie, tackle by the full-back, Wales, though, still in

2:06:47 > 2:06:51such close proximity to the posts, through the captain. He drives

2:06:51 > 2:06:59towards one of them. AdVantage being played. New Zealand give away the

2:06:59 > 2:07:08penalty, Gareth Davies can't get low enough to drive. Wales have the

2:07:08 > 2:07:14penalty. They must score quickly to clamber back into this game.Surely

2:07:14 > 2:07:20it's a scrum here or a kick to the corner.They'll take the scrum, I

2:07:20 > 2:07:26think, keep the pressure on. There is one infringement under the posts,

2:07:26 > 2:07:34the next one is yellow card, isn't it?Hallam Amos gathering, passing

2:07:34 > 2:07:43on to Josh Navidi.That's the equivalent of a, and again -- that

2:07:43 > 2:07:46is the equivalent of a break in the line.

2:07:46 > 2:07:52Again, close, not far enough.Sam Cane knew what he was doing there,

2:07:52 > 2:07:59you just wrapped his arms around it. You make the ball, -- call, do you

2:07:59 > 2:08:04give the penalty away or allow Wales the try scoring opportunity?

2:08:04 > 2:08:09Cynical, yes, but that's more most players would do.Sam Cane must

2:08:09 > 2:08:16cover the blindside. Wearing seven in front of Wayne Barnes. Full

2:08:16 > 2:08:20penalty? What will Wales do? Take the scrum again if bit of it last

2:08:20 > 2:08:25time.With two International forwards you would have to take a

2:08:25 > 2:08:30scrum, wouldn't you?You would, but if they want to kick to the corner,

2:08:30 > 2:08:36the line-out hasn't been any security that option is closed down.

2:08:36 > 2:08:41One penalty for holding on, the second for a scrum infringement. Now

2:08:41 > 2:08:49the pressure builds and it has to be an option for Wayne Barnes, the

2:08:49 > 2:08:55cards.Todd is the wing on the far side, Squire has gone to number

2:08:55 > 2:08:59eight, Sam Cane covers the blindside.

2:09:01 > 2:09:06It goes to ground, another penalty. Wales have a free play. Jamie

2:09:06 > 2:09:13Roberts on the charge to within one metre.No advantage because he's

2:09:13 > 2:09:16crawling.

2:09:20 > 2:09:24Wayne Barnes has a judgment to make.

2:09:29 > 2:09:34REFEREE:The tight head is straight. That's two in a row, the next one

2:09:34 > 2:09:43you go to the bin.The warning.The thing is, do you take your chance to

2:09:43 > 2:09:51try it here?Brian, please!Brian, Brian!I am just saying what every

2:09:51 > 2:09:58front row is thinking who is watching this.Tom Francis against

2:09:58 > 2:10:05Wyatt Crockett, the tight head against the loosehead. The cry.The

2:10:05 > 2:10:15noise.The Crowd DOES come to life.

2:10:26 > 2:10:31Good All Blacks scrum, Faletau has run for the line, can't quite reach

2:10:31 > 2:10:43it, inches short. It's going to be there, another chance for Wales.

2:10:43 > 2:10:49Gareth Davies goes digging, another penalty advantage. Sam Whitelock,

2:10:49 > 2:10:54the captain, is over the ball. Puffs out his cheeks but the captain is

2:10:54 > 2:11:00off for ten minutes.Well, the captain should have gone off last

2:11:00 > 2:11:05week, maybe, Kieran Read. He does go. What a tackle. I thought

2:11:05 > 2:11:11Faletau... What a brilliant tackle. Just watched this. He turned the

2:11:11 > 2:11:17scrum and he's away, watches tackle. That is a magnificent double tackle

2:11:17 > 2:11:22by the two substitutions. Faletau is in, and number five, knows what he's

2:11:22 > 2:11:30doing, in from the side, yellow card.Sam Whitelock in the bin,

2:11:30 > 2:11:36Wales with a penalty. They have opted, or are about to opt, for the

2:11:36 > 2:11:42scrum, has to be, doesn't it? Eight against seven.If this was a

2:11:42 > 2:11:49stand-off I would be screaming, scrum.Will be All Blacks put eight

2:11:49 > 2:11:56in, take a chance, Lina defender out wide or try to scrum with seven?

2:11:56 > 2:12:01It's a big moment, isn't it? Big moment.Wales have to come out of

2:12:01 > 2:12:05this with a try, converted preferably, they have two score more

2:12:05 > 2:12:10than three points.That's why Beauden Barrett's conversion was so

2:12:10 > 2:12:14important, take them beyond the two scores. Now the clock is against

2:12:14 > 2:12:18them.It's not yet running so they have a chance but they don't want to

2:12:18 > 2:12:24be bogged down in reset scrum after reset scrum.A great scrum, mind,

2:12:24 > 2:12:32the last All Blacks scrum. They had an nudge on.They have a man down in

2:12:32 > 2:12:38the scrum, the All Blacks.

2:12:40 > 2:12:50Hallam Amos may have to wait. Or perhaps not. Faletau has two dig it

2:12:50 > 2:12:58out, feeds Gareth Davies who goes blind, and scores!

2:13:03 > 2:13:10The clock is ticking, and Wales are back in this.This is still on, this

2:13:10 > 2:13:17is still on. The extra man, 11 minutes, great play by Gareth

2:13:17 > 2:13:22Davies, Faletau again, he just links to the right then goes left, backed

2:13:22 > 2:13:28his pace against Perenara brilliant try.The kick isn't vitally

2:13:28 > 2:13:33important because Wales have to score three times anyway.

2:13:37 > 2:13:49But it would be very sweet.Oh, yes! It would.If it went over. Justin

2:13:49 > 2:13:54Tipuric, somebody not out of breath, he is a red...He would be somebody

2:13:54 > 2:13:59you would like on now, when the game is open. He has the skills to just

2:13:59 > 2:14:09make something happen.

2:14:11 > 2:14:16Leigh Halfpenny curled the tin. It's a 7.4 Wales. They still have to

2:14:16 > 2:14:24score twice to win this game, but there is time.Brilliant run, just

2:14:24 > 2:14:33Bax 's pace, takes Perenara. Great finish. -- backs his pace.New

2:14:33 > 2:14:38Zealand ring their changes.

2:14:49 > 2:14:55Lima Sopoaga is on, Aaron Shingler goes off, Justin Tipuric is now on.

2:14:55 > 2:14:58That is an interesting substitution for New Zealand. A stand-off coming

2:14:58 > 2:15:02on, they have taken the whole or so they are hoping maybe the clicking

2:15:02 > 2:15:06game will see them through and have different options, played in the

2:15:06 > 2:15:16Welsh half -- kicking game.Sopoaga to Jimmy Robertson. -- Jamie

2:15:16 > 2:15:19Roberts. Gareth Davies orders the players in front of him into

2:15:19 > 2:15:24position. Beauden Barrett catches well.

2:15:27 > 2:15:34That is well taken by Matt Todd, who makes such a big tackle on Faletau.

2:15:34 > 2:15:43Sopoaga. Held up. Now to ground. Sonny Bill Williams. Danger. Rieko

2:15:43 > 2:15:50Ioane, Anton Lienert-Brown, it's gone loose, it's out of play. 71 and

2:15:50 > 2:15:57a half minutes played.People ask why other players aren't in the

2:15:57 > 2:16:02side, this guy is brilliant, every time Ioane has the ball he is so

2:16:02 > 2:16:07dangerous, an instinctive player, in, out, the passes poor there. What

2:16:07 > 2:16:11a player this boy has been this year.

2:16:20 > 2:16:24Change at hooker, Nathan Harris is on for Codie Taylor in the front

2:16:24 > 2:16:30row, all change in the front row, or change. Across the back row, as

2:16:30 > 2:16:35well. Sam Cane is still there and no number eight because Sam Whitelock

2:16:35 > 2:16:39is in the bin.

2:16:43 > 2:16:51Faletau has to watch.That is a big win for these seven men in the New

2:16:51 > 2:16:56Zealand pack, to force a penalty. Free kick, not a penalty.

2:17:00 > 2:17:10New Zealand could be given the hurry up here.Yes. Stop the clock. They

2:17:10 > 2:17:16seem to have got the edge again on the scrum, which with seven men is

2:17:16 > 2:17:21quite surprising.I'm surprised they have opted for this option.They

2:17:21 > 2:17:24scored against Scotland, didn't they, when down to 14.And from

2:17:24 > 2:17:29their point of view they know the clock will be counting. Once the

2:17:29 > 2:17:35medic comes on it could take on big Bend amount of time.Dacey Aaron

2:17:35 > 2:17:42Brown wait their turn.Will they go down the middle? You don't come in

2:17:42 > 2:17:47and stop the rot -- stop the off-load, you pick the runners-up

2:17:47 > 2:17:53and nail them.Jimmy Robertson landing in the 12th position, Owen

2:17:53 > 2:17:58Williams outside him -- Jamie Roberts standing in the 12th

2:17:58 > 2:18:06position. Sopoaga. TJ Perenara to Ioane. Oh, the speed of Ioane, the

2:18:06 > 2:18:10try for Ioane! Absolutely brilliant. I could read that like a book from

2:18:10 > 2:18:16here, I saw where he was going to come in, Sopoaga, I said, there he

2:18:16 > 2:18:22wanted it, he told Perenara he was straightening up, Perenara on the

2:18:22 > 2:18:25runaround and just absolutely blitzed on the outside, just watch,

2:18:25 > 2:18:35you can see him, there is the past, he steps in, Perenara comes round,

2:18:35 > 2:18:42just holds up Owen Williams, and it is, see you later.Second try for

2:18:42 > 2:18:47Ioane.Class. Absolute class.

2:18:54 > 2:19:01Well, if they were feeling the pressure, that has relieved it.Not

2:19:01 > 2:19:05just the angle of the run, it's the timing, isn't it? Hits the ball

2:19:05 > 2:19:13flat-out.It's a brilliant try. You know, you've just got too, as a

2:19:13 > 2:19:17Welsh defender, say, he's on, you see where he is standing, you cannot

2:19:17 > 2:19:21give him the space. The decoy run created the space for him and you

2:19:21 > 2:19:27have to say, right, this is the main ball-carrier here.Does outside man

2:19:27 > 2:19:31stepping Ben?You don't leave a big gap that side of a guy who can run

2:19:31 > 2:19:37that fast to be honest. You either have to step in and hit him... The

2:19:37 > 2:19:41damage was done with the dummy run from Perenara.Because they can't

2:19:41 > 2:19:45drift, go on out from there when people are coming back in on an

2:19:45 > 2:19:50angle.

2:19:58 > 2:20:11The conversion is good. Wales 18-33 New Zealand.Just watch this,

2:20:11 > 2:20:19there's the damage, look. One steps in, one steps out.And that is the

2:20:19 > 2:20:25influence of Sonny Bill Williams, isn't it? He comes on the short ball

2:20:25 > 2:20:30and people have to stop to cover that eventuality.We are off again.

2:20:30 > 2:20:39Beauden Barrett. Sopoaga. Leigh Halfpenny four Wales.

2:20:45 > 2:20:49The new hooker for Wales, Kristian Dacey.

2:20:51 > 2:20:59Priestland... Oh! Lyon Brown juggles, hands-on. Priestland cuts

2:20:59 > 2:21:09the other way.

2:21:14 > 2:21:23Dacey. Owen Williams. Leon Brown the prop, little charge, eases his way

2:21:23 > 2:21:31into the game. Under four minutes to go. Josh Navidi, what a good game he

2:21:31 > 2:21:37has had.He has been tireless in the losing cause.Hallam Amos has been

2:21:37 > 2:21:40the looser.

2:21:43 > 2:21:51Wyn Jones, the other prop for Wales. Owen Williams up to the line,

2:21:51 > 2:21:57Priestland outside him, Steff Evans. Leigh Halfpenny.

2:22:02 > 2:22:10Alun Wyn Jones and Scott Barrett bounces off him. Williams. Owen

2:22:10 > 2:22:17Williams, can't quite get the pass out. Still therefore Gareth Davies.

2:22:17 > 2:22:20Cory Hill.

2:22:23 > 2:22:34Priestland. Owen Williams rolled out of the tackle there. REFEREE:Of

2:22:34 > 2:22:38your feet now, Sam, off your feet.

2:22:40 > 2:22:41Wyn Jones.

2:22:43 > 2:22:55Kristian Dacey stays on his feet. After one of those collisions. To a

2:22:55 > 2:22:59facet. Wales still in possession. Now they have lost possession.

2:22:59 > 2:23:06Danger. TJ Perenara looks up, just gets rid of it. The sin-bin period

2:23:06 > 2:23:11could be over. Now then, job of them, as TJ Perenara still has the

2:23:11 > 2:23:15strength to shout at his players -- Jonathan, who is the man of the

2:23:15 > 2:23:21match.Brilliant performances, Rob Evans has been great, Navidi,

2:23:21 > 2:23:25Faletau, Sam Cane, but tries make such difference in matches and this

2:23:25 > 2:23:30guide, crucial stages of the match, has come over, intersect, and a

2:23:30 > 2:23:41brilliant try, so there he is, Under Armour Man Of The Match Ricoh Ione

2:23:41 > 2:23:55-- Raikkonen Ioane. Rieko Ioane. Back to Nathan Harris. TJ Perenara

2:23:55 > 2:23:58looks up.

2:23:59 > 2:24:08Sonny Bill Williams. Lima Sopoaga. Damian McKenzie hasn't really had a

2:24:08 > 2:24:17chance to stretches legs. Wales try to hold up the All Blacks hooker. It

2:24:17 > 2:24:29is therefore Perenara. Squire. Navidi tries to hold him. Barrett.

2:24:29 > 2:24:32Held by Owen Williams.

2:24:35 > 2:24:42Less than a minute to go. Somewhere around the halfway line it's going

2:24:42 > 2:24:46to come to a bit of an anti-climactic finish, but what a

2:24:46 > 2:24:53game that has been. The All Blacks were under pressure but their

2:24:53 > 2:24:58response as clinical and inventive and brilliant as ever. Two tries for

2:24:58 > 2:25:02both their wingers, but the ones by Rieko Ioane were the ones that

2:25:02 > 2:25:07counted in the end.Can we mention the officials as well who have done

2:25:07 > 2:25:17a sterling job to make this game as open, and as controversy free.

2:25:17 > 2:25:27Ioane's off-load us well for Lienert-Brown's try.REFEREE:hands

2:25:27 > 2:25:35down, everyone, hands down. We are going to move them back ten. Back we

2:25:35 > 2:25:40go, ten, back we go, just slowing the ball down, let's try and play

2:25:40 > 2:25:47quick.I love Ioane, look at him, no response to that, really. You can't

2:25:47 > 2:25:55beat that the two sledging.Rhys Priestland going for the corner, and

2:25:55 > 2:26:03there will be time for the line-out. Wales with a chance to get into the

2:26:03 > 2:26:1320s, but unfortunately for them New Zealand are in the 30s. Kristian

2:26:13 > 2:26:19Dacey. Cory Hill with the catch. The drive comes on.

2:26:25 > 2:26:30Gareth Davies waits. As to play at. Wales through Rhys Priestland, can

2:26:30 > 2:26:38he get the pass away? You can to a Masoe cuts back and tries to dance.

2:26:38 > 2:26:43-- Hallam Amos cuts back. Hill does well with a pass to Alun Wyn Jones.

2:26:43 > 2:26:51Owen Williams tries to hand the defenders. -- hand off the

2:26:51 > 2:26:59defenders. As the gall bond loose? Still available. -- ball gone loose.

2:26:59 > 2:27:07Still hurling themselves forward in attack, Wales, Alun Wyn Jones.

2:27:13 > 2:27:21Gareth Davies pops it up, back to him, support on his folder from

2:27:21 > 2:27:29Steff Evans, back towards Leigh Halfpenny. Justin Tipuric. Tipuric

2:27:29 > 2:27:39back into the 22.

2:27:39 > 2:27:47Dacey. LAUGHTER Ordered back to his feet. Didn't really want to get

2:27:47 > 2:27:56down. Tipuric again, good footwork from the replacement. Wyn Jones.

2:27:56 > 2:28:02Wyn Jones.

2:28:02 > 2:28:06Priestland, one last throw, it has gone straight out, that will be it,

2:28:06 > 2:28:13Hallam Amos looks on. Embraces the man of the match Rieko Ioane. The

2:28:13 > 2:28:19All Blacks have done it again, 64 years, 30 games in succession, they

2:28:19 > 2:28:27have beaten Wales, again, the final score here at the Principality

2:28:27 > 2:28:32Stadium, Wales 18-33 New Zealand. STUDIO:

2:28:33 > 2:28:33Have been

2:28:33 > 2:28:39Have been here on so many occasions, Wales, optimistic, enthusiastic, in

2:28:39 > 2:28:43the end falling short. Sam Warburton, thoughts?Like when we

2:28:43 > 2:28:49played New Zealand in the past, a couple of key moments, Ioane with a

2:28:49 > 2:28:54brave off-load, and read on the line as well. I am glad Wales bounced

2:28:54 > 2:28:58back and scored a try after that but we have been through this before and

2:28:58 > 2:29:03it is slightly frustrating as well. Martyn, what is your overriding

2:29:03 > 2:29:07emotion?The All Blacks are just too good, second half, they controlled

2:29:07 > 2:29:14the game, there was a sense of inevitability when they Anton

2:29:14 > 2:29:19Lienert-Brown 's court. They have special players, Ioane, Naholo, who

2:29:19 > 2:29:24create something from nothing. The same story unfortunately for Wales.

2:29:24 > 2:29:27We spoke in advance about the All Blacks being vulnerable but under

2:29:27 > 2:29:31pressure they find something from somewhere.Yes, from my point of

2:29:31 > 2:29:36view the difference between the two houses in the second half the All

2:29:36 > 2:29:39Blacks controlled possession. Wales had it in the first half, the All

2:29:39 > 2:29:43Blacks took it and built pressure and were able to come up with these

2:29:43 > 2:29:49tries at key moments. BlueWales have to get used to the style, this

2:29:49 > 2:29:53new shape of attacking, two ballplayers, get the ball to the

2:29:53 > 2:29:57edge. Forwards have to get used to passing and carrying more

2:29:57 > 2:30:01ferociously. The difference for me was the accuracy of New Zealand in

2:30:01 > 2:30:06the areas where you can score the try. But for Wales, keep on doing

2:30:06 > 2:30:10the same thing. This isn't a New Zealand side which has been

2:30:10 > 2:30:14demolishing sides. For summary times they have been coming here and

2:30:14 > 2:30:18taking apart the opposition. The Northern Hemisphere is getting

2:30:18 > 2:30:21closer.More than anything else, Martyn, do you feel that as a missed

2:30:21 > 2:30:27opportunity for tonight?

2:30:27 > 2:30:31Causing New Zealand so many problems in that first half. So yeah I think

2:30:31 > 2:30:35it is a missed opportunity. Scotland will still be kicking themselves.

2:30:35 > 2:30:43It's the same old same old.Sonia is on the pitch. Ray cook, tremendous

2:30:43 > 2:30:47Test match, what on earth was it like to play in?Awesome. I want to

2:30:47 > 2:30:51shout out to the Welsh, they know how to get behind their team and

2:30:51 > 2:30:55create an atmosphere. They were awesome. To play the Welsh at home

2:30:55 > 2:31:00for the first time was something special, something I won't forget.A

2:31:00 > 2:31:03long season for the All Blacks, what does it say about this team you go

2:31:03 > 2:31:08through the tour unbeaten?It's been a season of ups and downs but we're

2:31:08 > 2:31:15happy with how... We want to end the year on a win and we've done that.

2:31:15 > 2:31:20With the young group we have and the mix of senior and young players we

2:31:20 > 2:31:24have I think we did exceptional, proud of the boys.Pushed hard by

2:31:24 > 2:31:29Scotland and Wales today, what do you make of the challenge now be

2:31:29 > 2:31:33imposed by the Northern Hemisphere sides?They've improved their rugby

2:31:33 > 2:31:39a hell of a lot for me especially, it's been my first time facing a

2:31:39 > 2:31:44northern hemisphere team of such calibre. Full credit to them,

2:31:44 > 2:31:48Scotland put up a huge performance last week. Again, backed up by Wales

2:31:48 > 2:31:52this week. The rugby going good leading into the World Cup. They

2:31:52 > 2:31:57should definitely be proud.Two tremendous tries, you are Man of the

2:31:57 > 2:31:59Match.Thank you.

2:32:02 > 2:32:05How will Wales view this match tomorrow, Monday? There is still one

2:32:05 > 2:32:09more game to come. We think the autumn internationals ends this

2:32:09 > 2:32:13weekend, but there is one with Wales against the Springboks. Will they

2:32:13 > 2:32:17take the positives out of it and say, if we do that better 5% next

2:32:17 > 2:32:21week we can beat the Springboks and finish this autumn series on a high

2:32:21 > 2:32:25or will there be... Is it a big job for Warren Gatland to lift this team

2:32:25 > 2:32:29after what might have been the greatest moment and hasn't been?

2:32:29 > 2:32:32It'll be interesting to see other players feel, they'll be the ones...

2:32:32 > 2:32:36Sometimes you speak after the game and they are like, we didn't feel we

2:32:36 > 2:32:40were outplayed, just a couple of key moments went against us. It's 14

2:32:40 > 2:32:44points. Looking at that I don't think Wales were outplayed, I think

2:32:44 > 2:32:49New Zealand were subclinical and took their chances brilliantly. They

2:32:49 > 2:32:53conceded a try from the first phase. The 13 position is the most

2:32:53 > 2:33:00difficult position to defend, the backline. The off-load from Ioane,

2:33:00 > 2:33:04then intercept, three individual moments, three mistakes, that is 21

2:33:04 > 2:33:07points, that is the difficult thing for New Zealand, they are

2:33:07 > 2:33:12subclinical.The All Blacks captain is with Sonia.Penny for your

2:33:12 > 2:33:16thoughts when you are sat in the sin-bin at eight points in the game?

2:33:16 > 2:33:20Never nice to be there but the boys are really stuck together and

2:33:20 > 2:33:23forwards probably do better without me.Plenty of talk that this All

2:33:23 > 2:33:31Blacks side might be vulnerable, have you proved a few people wrong?

2:33:31 > 2:33:34We're just worried about what we're thinking internally. Proud of the

2:33:34 > 2:33:37boys the way we defended the first half and when we got opportunities

2:33:37 > 2:33:43we made the most of them.How big a gem have you found in Ioane?Last

2:33:43 > 2:33:48five or ten minutes, open space, we seen it at training every week, he

2:33:48 > 2:33:53is a nightmare to get a hold of. Scotland pushed too hard last

2:33:53 > 2:33:58weekend, Wales was a titanic Test match as well. We've seen Australia

2:33:58 > 2:34:02go down to a record score against Scotland this afternoon, if the gap

2:34:02 > 2:34:07isn't closing, do you think it is smaller between the hemispheres?

2:34:07 > 2:34:12When two teams go out there and want to play well and they're confident,

2:34:12 > 2:34:15we see great Test matches. They call it a Test match for reason. They are

2:34:15 > 2:34:23never easy.Well done today.Cheers. How will New Zealand view the last

2:34:23 > 2:34:31few weeks?13 Test matches in a year, enormous by anyone's standard.

2:34:31 > 2:34:35We've had to use a huge amount of players. This tour in particular has

2:34:35 > 2:34:40unearthed some of those players. I think of Damian McKenzie, Ioane,

2:34:40 > 2:34:46Laulala. These guys, all valuable experience playing stadium like

2:34:46 > 2:34:51this. It's wonderful going forward. It only grows what we have as All

2:34:51 > 2:34:58Blacks.Alun Wyn Jones the Welsh captain has made his way to Sonia.

2:34:58 > 2:35:04In the cold light of day is it a missed opportunity?Very much so.

2:35:04 > 2:35:08We'd be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn't say that. We've got to

2:35:08 > 2:35:11be honest, the first half performance we didn't take the

2:35:11 > 2:35:15opportunities. We penetrated quite a bit but didn't get across the line.

2:35:15 > 2:35:17If the fundamental difference between these sides that they took

2:35:17 > 2:35:21their chances and you didn't?You could highlight that. We played a

2:35:21 > 2:35:25lot of rugby in the second half, lacking penetration in the second.

2:35:25 > 2:35:30We felt we grew into the first half. More on the back foot in the second

2:35:30 > 2:35:36half. We will rue the missed opportunities.Is it just a question

2:35:36 > 2:35:41of trying to get used to a new style of play?I think we're there. We're

2:35:41 > 2:35:45using the ball a lot more. It's like the execution is the issue now, not

2:35:45 > 2:35:51the intent. Almost elements of the Australia game popping up. That is

2:35:51 > 2:35:55the frustration we have to live with.How easy is it too picked

2:35:55 > 2:35:59ourselves up because the autumn series isn't over for Wales, South

2:35:59 > 2:36:02Africa is to come.We're fortunate in a way, we have another game to

2:36:02 > 2:36:10go. Hopefully frustration of field. Let's have a chat about the scores

2:36:10 > 2:36:13in the second half that turned the game so convincingly in the way of

2:36:13 > 2:36:23the All Blacks.Out of nothing really, the first one.

2:36:23 > 2:36:29The defence lined up. The prop goes inside outside, then the deception

2:36:29 > 2:36:33here with the dummy runs is confusing forwards who aren't used

2:36:33 > 2:36:38to being out on the backline.Taking two players out. Owen Williams knows

2:36:38 > 2:36:45he has Ken Owens so he holds. You want to get Ioane one-on-one in this

2:36:45 > 2:36:48match. He's fortunate it bounces. The damage was done early on. Wales

2:36:48 > 2:36:52were too tight on the inside. Dan Biggar needed to get outside the

2:36:52 > 2:36:56props and because he wasn't, Owen Williams knew he had two front

2:36:56 > 2:37:02rowers, held at it, giving Ioane the one-on-one.X Factor players,

2:37:02 > 2:37:05world-class, 20, look at him duck through the tackle here. He wants to

2:37:05 > 2:37:10give the ball he's looking. And online at Brown anticipating it

2:37:10 > 2:37:15coming. In this zone where you have to make the most of your

2:37:15 > 2:37:20opportunities they're so responsive. Two minutes before that happened you

2:37:20 > 2:37:23said you sensed something would happen here that would go New

2:37:23 > 2:37:26Zealand's way, why were you feeling that?I just think when we played

2:37:26 > 2:37:30New Zealand in the past there has always been either the first 15

2:37:30 > 2:37:34minutes, whether the start of the game second half, because you've

2:37:34 > 2:37:37chatted to the coaches, the message is clear what you have to do. When

2:37:37 > 2:37:40you get the 60 minute mark and something goes against you, how do

2:37:40 > 2:37:46you react gritter Margareta cascade into two tries. It can completely

2:37:46 > 2:37:51change your approach. It's the way you bounce back from a mistake. One

2:37:51 > 2:37:55mistake is seven points. From then on we were chasing the game.Let's

2:37:55 > 2:38:03hear from Steve Hansen.As Wales make it an 8-point ball game, up

2:38:03 > 2:38:07steps Ioane, home and hosed, how good is that man?Very good he's

2:38:07 > 2:38:11going to be very good when he grows up. Right now he's pretty handy,

2:38:11 > 2:38:15too, so we're very proud of him, he's had a big week. He's had a

2:38:15 > 2:38:19great year. Very special player. Questions have been posed of the All

2:38:19 > 2:38:23Blacks, how big were the ones asked by Wales today?Look, every game we

2:38:23 > 2:38:27play this year has been big games to us. We've suffered more injuries

2:38:27 > 2:38:32than we've ever had before and I'm proud of the way the boys have stood

2:38:32 > 2:38:38up and, you know, a lot of energy and this last game today and we

2:38:38 > 2:38:41needed it.The All Blacks continue to set the standard, number one team

2:38:41 > 2:38:45in the world, you've gone through this tour unbeaten. Do you think the

2:38:45 > 2:38:47gap is closing between the hemispheres?I think everybody's

2:38:47 > 2:38:52working hard to close the gap and I think it probably is. We won't know

2:38:52 > 2:38:56until we get all of the top teams playing with all their players. You

2:38:56 > 2:39:00probably only get that at the World Cup. Everyone has their share of

2:39:00 > 2:39:03injuries at the moment and till you can put your best side on the one

2:39:03 > 2:39:06will know.When you have time to pause and reflect what is the main

2:39:06 > 2:39:16positive you will take?I suppose an extra 1415 players in All Black

2:39:16 > 2:39:20rugby we weren't expecting, because of injuries. The unfortunate thing

2:39:20 > 2:39:25is, personal things that have happened. Those kids have stood up

2:39:25 > 2:39:30and warned the jersey with a lot of pride and skill. Come next year

2:39:30 > 2:39:34we're going to have a very good squad to pick from.Thank you.

2:39:34 > 2:39:41Cheers.Doug, you are the outstanding winger for the All

2:39:41 > 2:39:45Blacks. You might not be for much longer if Ioane keeps scoring tries

2:39:45 > 2:39:52like this.What I love about Ioane, he just goes, no fear in him. He

2:39:52 > 2:39:56makes a decision early. He executes. He makes everybody else have to

2:39:56 > 2:39:59tackle him. He's not worried about what the defence is doing. You see

2:39:59 > 2:40:07the anticipation coming. He's well on his way.Is this almost the

2:40:07 > 2:40:11naivete of youth, he's just playing. There is a real joy in how he's

2:40:11 > 2:40:16going about things.You can say that to Damian McKenzie. To that freedom

2:40:16 > 2:40:23to execute.His second try was a real dagger to the heart. Down to 14

2:40:23 > 2:40:28men New Zealand, they backed themselves. Jamie Roberts, they've

2:40:28 > 2:40:32been transfixed with Sonny Bill Like the Hallam Amos angle earlier,

2:40:32 > 2:40:36this return ball, they can't see him coming. He gets on the outside and

2:40:36 > 2:40:41for a big man he is so, so quick. The fact, the 14 men New Zealand

2:40:41 > 2:40:45had, they took the scrum, backed themselves. Great play, great

2:40:45 > 2:40:50runaround.I feel for a win, he hasn't played much at outside

2:40:50 > 2:40:54centre. It is a nightmare. Perception around 12 and 13, to make

2:40:54 > 2:40:59that read, if you don't make it, it's a try. It's not his fault, is

2:40:59 > 2:41:04not used to defending that position. Great starter play from New Zealand.

2:41:04 > 2:41:07We had this conversation last week, when New Zealand get a man in the

2:41:07 > 2:41:11bin and you think... The opposition always score a try when somebody is

2:41:11 > 2:41:15down to 14 players. The New Zealanders got stronger and won a

2:41:15 > 2:41:20scrum on the Welsh ball. I mean that in the mind isn't it?Look at a try

2:41:20 > 2:41:25again, everybody was doing their job. Ioane just had to run at him.

2:41:25 > 2:41:28The perception was all in place. I wouldn't underestimate the other

2:41:28 > 2:41:33intervention from Steve Hansen early on. He made three or four

2:41:33 > 2:41:37substitutions, 55 minutes, so he freshened up the team early early in

2:41:37 > 2:41:47the second half.All Ioane had to do was run it in! It was well worked,

2:41:47 > 2:41:56all the deception to isolate a win. It was unfair on the fly half. -- to

2:41:56 > 2:42:00isolate Owen.Where are Wales three quarters of a way through the autumn

2:42:00 > 2:42:03season?Next week is huge against South Africa, lose next week,

2:42:03 > 2:42:07they've spoken from the start about experimentation, they are trying to

2:42:07 > 2:42:13evolve the side. But you want to win games. It is a huge missed

2:42:13 > 2:42:16opportunity. We know South Africa, some of the greatest teams, it's a

2:42:16 > 2:42:20huge game for them.Will Warren Gatland back those players for next

2:42:20 > 2:42:25week or is it the time to make changes?I was thinking about

2:42:25 > 2:42:28selection, you have two back Josh Navidi, he was outstanding today.

2:42:28 > 2:42:33When you consider Ross Moriarty isn't in the mix. Justin Tipuric on

2:42:33 > 2:42:36the bench. Selection for the back row will be really interesting next

2:42:36 > 2:42:46week. Do you keep Shingler as a main line option? Spoilt for choice in

2:42:46 > 2:42:50the back row. I have to take my hat off, Navidi was brilliant today,

2:42:50 > 2:42:53made more tackles than any of the Welsh forwards, he was taking his

2:42:53 > 2:42:58chances fantastic.Doug, good having you the last couple of weeks, hope

2:42:58 > 2:43:02you enjoyed it. Give us your assessment on this New Zealand core
