TRY! WALES 7-17 NEW ZEALAND (LOVE 29')
Well, Wales were just about holding on here.
However, Ruben Love gets the ball, pulls off the dummy and dances through the Welsh defence.
He splits it open and races in for New Zealand's second try.
McKenzie converts.

PENALTY GALORE FOR WALES
The referee has warned Wales to improve their discipline. If it continues, the sin-bin awaits.
Wales need to stop giving penalties away but the Kiwi pressure is intense.
21'
WALES GO CLOSE
Off the line-out Wales work the ball well and Rhys Carre races for the line but a great tackle by New Zealand's Pasilio Tosi wins a penalty just shy off the line that relieves the pressure.
20'
NEITHER SIDE DOMINATING
It's chaotic as the ball bounces off some box kicks, New Zealand culprits of a knock-on.
Eventually, the Kiwis give away a penalty at the line-out and Wales smash the ball down to New Zealand's 22.

WALES KICK INTO KIWIS 22

PENALTY! WALES 7-10 NEW ZEALAND (MCKENZIE 12')
The hosts have given away a penalty deep into their own half and the Kiwis opt for the posts.
Damian McKenzie slots the kick from a central position, just outside the 22.
It will be disappointing for Wales having just levelled the game.

TRY! WALES 0-7 NEW ZEALAND (CLARKE 5')
The All Blacks win their line-out and work the ball from the right to the left with ease.
Eventually, the ball finds the hands of Caleb Clarke in acres of space and he easily races in for the score.
Damian McKenzie converts.
Worrying start for Wales.

PENALTY NEW ZEALAND
The Kiwis are having all of the ball so far, taking some good claims off their own kicks.

WHAT A WAY TO GET UP FOR THIS
The band stop playing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau and leave the Welsh crowd to do the rest.
It's a nod to Wales' 1905 win against the All Blacks.
Haka time!

OUT RUN THE SIDES
Both sides enter to a Principality Stadium plunged into red and enter to an almost eerie piano instrumental.
Time for some national anthems.

However, they fell to an English comeback last weekend, losing 33-19 despite leading 12-0 at one stage.
