    Try Sullivan; not converted. We're back in the lead.

    15 - 10 NZ

      NZ's line-speed is making things difficult for Wales; Flanders is excellent again. Florence is good, too.

      Awesome try from Tom Christie, after great work from Koroi and Sullivan.

      Plummer converts. 22 - 10 NZ after 31 minutes.

        Geez, yellow for Florence for a shoulder against the face. Not red because the Welsh player was going down.

        Ref says he never used his arm. Complete bullshit. Harsh call again.

          These players slipping into the tackle and then getting the opponent a YC is bullshit.

            The annoying thing with these stupid, un-deserved yellow cards is that they all go on a player's record. They not only need to watch out to get another yellow during the same game, but two more yellows in other games of the tournament will also earn them a visit to the judiciairy.

              NZ's 7-man-scrum destroys the Welsh 8-man-scrum.

              Penalty goal kick from Plummer from 47 metres ... it's good.

              Half time: New Zealand 25 - 10 Wales

                Excellent long strike in pouring rain and slippery turf to perfectly land penalty to the sheds. Baby Blacks dominated that period after the yellow.

                  Just saw the replay of Sullivan's try. It was a real beauty.

                    Xavier Roe reminds me of Rhys Duggan. At least from a distance.

                      Ball is a slippery bar of soap, these first 8 minutes of 2nd half been really sloppy.

                        Does it rain in NZ? Diabolical 2nd half from both sides in the wet.

                          @stargazer And some ferners were worried about the scrum during the Oceania tournament. It was the same last year, scrum struggled against Australia only to come right during the championship

                            Blacks have had ample opportunities to put this game away, but Wales defending valiantly and waiting for knock-ons.

                              Uluilakepa replaced by Mafileo.

                              58 minutes played and it's still 25 - 10 to NZ

                                Lose is dodgy on the laws. The cross the plane law is gone for a few months now. It was still out but not for that reason.

                                  Btw, did any of you hear why Clarke doesn't play? I assume he's injured?

                                    Florence replaced by Tremain. Florence seems to have an arm/shoulder injury.

                                      I consider Jackson the better hooker in the squad, but he's made several mistakes in this game.

                                        Plummer scores a penalty goal from right in front of the sticks. At least we keep adding points, but I find the game quite boring. Too many mistakes. I guess the rain has something to do with that, but still ...

                                        28 - 10 NZ

                                          Excellent charge down from Mafileo, who scores the try. He's faster than he looks haha.
