Welcome to live updates of the second Bledisloe Cup test. Kickoff is around 7.35pm at Eden Park. After last weekend's tryless 12-12 draw in wet Sydney conditions it's been a very nice sunny day in the City of Sails. Spring is here. Which should mean running rugby and hopefully tries.
According to the Herald Rugby Stats Centre:
Wallabies conceded 8 penalies - All Blacks 3
Wallabies made 64 tackles - All Blacks 39
Wallabies missed 15 tackles - All Blacks 4
Palu now at 10 tackles for the match. Michael Hooper 6
Fekitoa is on for Ryan Crotty who suffered a cheekbone injury.
All Blacks scrum and they give the ball to the backs but quickly turn it over.
Wallabies on their own 10m line as Folau makes a break and it tackled. Wallabies penalty as McCaw not rolling away.
Toomua kicks deep and Wallabies have lineout on the 22m
So a good chance for Wallabies to strike early. They are 10m out. Fardy in a big tackle by McCaw and Jane. Wallabies still have the ball.
All Blacks get the penalty as the defence holds strong.
Sorry Mathew but Jane has gone off. Barrett on the field at the moment. Ben Smith makes a break down the righthand touch but the Wallabies turnover and kick back into NZ territory.
Beale knocks on and All Blacks half a scrum just on their side of halfway. But they giveaway a penalty.
Toomua doesn't find touch as Savea keeps it in the field. And the All Blacks break upfield. First through Barrett, then Aaron Smith and then Fekitoa. They get into the Wallabies 30m before Hooper earns a penalty.
He's come onto the right wing it looks like.
Beauden Barrett is down at the moment.
But he's back up and moving back to fullback.
Ben Smith on right wing, Beauden Barrett at fullback.
Wallabies lineout at the 40m line. 30 minutes to go. The Wallabies drive from the lineout and Toomua on the run from an inside ball. Beale knocks on though
They go close to the line
Once again the All Blacks pounce on an Australian mistake inside their half. They break down the field and it ends with Sam Whitelock playing halfback with a quick ball to Read who scores from in close.
Cruden converts. All Blacks 30-6.
Wallabies scrambling near their own tryline and eventually clear. All Blacks move into Aussie half.
All Blacks now have a lineout just 5m out from tryline.
Bonus point try for the All Blacks.
McCaw looks like the man to have scored
The Bledisloe Cup is staying in New Zealand it seems.
Cruden six from seven. Lines this one up
Makes that seven from eight. All Blacks lead 37-6.
McCaw now has 10 tries against Australia - the most by any player.
