Australia 14-23 New Zealand, 76 mins
Lineout goes over the back to Savea and he carries up towards the 22. Penalty advantage coming as Ikitau is miles offside.
Kick to the corner from the All Blacks and they’re hunting a try that would put Australia away.

The All Blacks can enter game management mode now, although conceding a free-kick at scrum-time immediately probably isn’t that.
The Wallabies run into the opposition half but ball-playing in these conditions is far from easy. Jorgensen does well to stay infield but Australia are pinged for an illegal takedown at the breakdown as skipper Wilson croc rolls a man.

PENALTY! Australia 14-23 New Zealand (Damian McKenzie, 71 mins)
Damian McKenzie hasn’t been great off the tee today to be honest but he’ll try this one from right of centre, 30 metres out.
No problem this time! Slices the uprights and the lead is beyond a score, at nine points.

Scrappy. The ball slipping everywhere now as Tupou spills it in his own half but backwards. Eventually Lonergan opts for the long box-kick.
Jordan chases his own contestable in response and the All Blacks win the penalty as Edmed fails to release the ball. McReight down receiving treatment now. When the clock restarts, New Zealand will take a shot at the posts.

TRY! Australia 14-20 New Zealand (Len Ikitau, 67 mins)
This is the closest the Wallabies have been for about an hour. The lineout is secured and the maul starts rumbling.
Stopped, illegally, a couple of metres short so we’ve got a penalty coming. They keep it tight, a couple of burrows for the line, then it’s really clever from Len Ikitau.
Waits patiently at the base, Carter goes offside and Ikitau then quickly picks the ball up and moves it forward the couple of inches required to dot down. Try scored!
Edmed hits the inside of the post with the conversion! Very unlucky. Back within a score though.

We’re moving towards now or never stage for the Aussies and this is a golden opportunity. A penalty sees them kick to the corner. Five-metre lineout.

PENALTY! Australia 9-20 New Zealand (Damian McKenzie, 62 mins)
The penalty is bang in front, probably 35 metres out and Damian McKenzie makes no mistake. Good strike and the All Black lead is at 11.

To avert their lineout woes, New Zealand go to Newell at the front. It’s effective enough, although Carter’s kick through shortly after is too long and dotted down for a goal-line dropout.
Jordan frees his hand and loops a spectacular offload before Valetini goes high on a slipping Barrett for an All Blacks penalty – nothing more. Shot at the posts upcoming

Brave from Jordan there as Jorgensen starts to pursue a kick ahead but the All Blacks full back patiently waits for it to bounce dead out the back of the in-goal area, just beating the Wallabies start there.
New Zealand scrum back on halfway is the reward but Rob Valetini, off the bench a little while ago, immediately wins a turnover from it as he gets over the ball at the breakdown.

Quick ball from the All Blacks and Taylor carries well but are penalised for a Williams takeout off the ball and then marched 10 metres further for backchat! Reprieve for the hosts. For now, at least
