Shit pass at the base of a ruck leads to a turnover for NZ, can't afford to do that too often.

lloyd

Another knock on by NZ, not sure I've ever seen this many easy catches dropped by them before.

Let's make the most of it.

lloyd

Every bouncing ball they land on, it's not coincidence.

lloyd

AWJ off, replaced by Ball-big drop in class.

lloyd

Our breakdown work defensively is impressive today.

I'm starting to wonder if it's really true - without McCaw, Nonu and Carter the All Blacks are human after all.

lloyd

Mistake by Williams diving on a kicked ball-went through his legs-leads to a penalty two phases later, 18-18

lloyd

Pulling down in the lineout-not dangerous just arms round him.

Bigger has a shot form 40meters and just misses.

lloyd

AWJ back on, awesome-he's been a giant at breakdown.

lloyd

Keep it up, 18-21 easy kick after offsides.

Great little break from North to set up.

lloyd

Love the way all New Zealandera hold the ball when hit-arms come out looking to free it up to offload, 1-15 do it. Superb.

lloyd

Barnes has had a good game.

lloyd

6 black not rolling away, great playing of the ref by Webb to get the (deserved) penalty.

Into the 22 with a lineout.

lloyd

Which we lose-typical.

lloyd

It's shit like that which will cost us the game, lose the lineout they run to the halfway line and get a pen. Should be level with a kick at goal on te 10 metre line.

My rugby watching is over until later  - Heres hoping Wales can hold on to take this, how awesome would it be to have 3 home nations wins today!!

lloyd

Big forward pass missed there....

lloyd

Ken Owens down, could be off.

lloyd

Owens back up.

lloyd

Should be a try off a tap pen. AWJ offside in ruck
