00:00:16The Halftime Show, powered by Expedia, the one place you go to go places.
00:00:23Well, not many outside of the Welsh team would have predicted what we have seen in that first
00:00:28half. It is 21-all at halftime after Wales led for most of the first 40 minutes. Welcome
00:00:34to the Expedia Halftime Show, where we have you covered with everything you need to know
00:00:39from the first half. Angus Ta'ovau, Stephen Donald. Slightly different to what we were
00:00:44predicting in pre-match? Yeah, I might just sit the rest of the show
00:00:47out, because everything I've said, it's been the opposite. So, talking about a slaughter,
00:00:51hasn't quite been that way, Pete. It's been pleasantly surprising how great Wales
00:00:57have been playing, haven't they? They've played with speed and width and ambition.
00:01:01And, jeez, they've taken a leafy over the All Blacks books, as far as attacking footy
00:01:04goes at the moment. Yeah, it has been a high, high-tempo first half. Let's take you back
00:01:09through some of the key highlights from that first half in the tri-scorers. And it was Wales
00:01:13who came out of the gate with a hiss and a roar. Yeah, absolutely. And that man, Richard
00:01:16James, he's been very influential. Chip and chase here. And it was started brilliantly, and
00:01:22Williams has been so influential. Gets the first one, Gus. Yep, and then they set their intentions
00:01:26pretty early to have a crack for the corner. And the man again, Thomas Williams. Dewey
00:01:30Lake goes over for his try. I mean, the low numbers everywhere. First time the All Blacks
00:01:34get down there. Go to what worked so well for them in the line-out more last week. And
00:01:38then Kortu Zatama individually scores a brilliant try. Getting rid of that man, Williams, on his
00:01:43way to the try. And after another penalty, the big boy, Archie Griffin, I mean, he absolutely
00:01:48bullies his way over for his first test try for Wales. All Blacks get back into it properly.
00:01:54And the best, I think, in the first half, Wallace Satiti. And on the back of some more
00:02:00wonderful forward carries, and the skill level and footwork, that was not easy, what he just
00:02:05did to get that try. And then, I mean, this was a frantic
00:02:08end to the first half. He thought Wales might go in, thought All Blacks might go in. Wallace
00:02:11Satiti features again. I mean, he's caught a few dusty seeds out there. Nice little pick
00:02:15here from Quintu Paya. Finianganufo goes in for his first test try and his first start
00:02:19for the All Blacks. So the All Blacks coming back into it later in the half there. But
00:02:24do you think there was maybe a little bit of feeling of being slightly shell-shocked early
00:02:28on? We're talking about that, Thomas Williams mentioned him before the half. And I think
00:02:35the Welsh have just come out and they've just said, you know what, why not? Let's just have
00:02:38a crack. Let's be physical on defence on both sides. But I mean, this man, Thomas Williams,
00:02:43he's a special player there. Yeah, absolutely. And he's had that platform. We talked about
00:02:46pre-game. If he was going to be an influence, he had to have that platform. And by being
00:02:52an influence, he's getting time on the ball. He's able to tuck out. And that attracts the
00:02:58defence on the inside. And he starts to attract attention. And then you hear Mills talking about
00:03:03these seams that the forward's running. The forward's running great lines. But it's only
00:03:06happening because he is able to get out of these rucks and bring the defence to him.
00:03:13And you've seen him score a try and obviously his influence around the park. But he's been
00:03:16phenomenal in that first half.
00:03:18So is there anything the ABs can be doing then to lessen that time on the ball for him?
00:03:22It's about controlling that ruck speed. And, you know, in terms of gain line, I feel like
00:03:27the Welsh are getting it almost every time. They need to get two in the tackle, win that gain
00:03:30line, slow it down. So Thomas doesn't have all this time to get out and pick players off who
00:03:33are on the front foot ball. As a defender, when you're on the back foot, it's tough.
00:03:37You're up, you're looking. Oh, there's another one. So stop that. They've got a few turnovers,
00:03:41but they need to be more consistent.
00:03:42Yeah, when it comes to the ABs as well, look, it hasn't exactly been what you would call
00:03:46the smoothest of halves for them. A little bit of clunkiness throughout. What do you put
00:03:50that down to? What have you seen?
00:03:51Well, obviously, the easy thing to say changes. You know, you can train all week and practice
00:03:56all week. But as soon as you put in combinations, and I guess maybe an over keenness to belief
00:04:02to get the game going, I mean, when we talk about clunkiness, it's only those extra force
00:04:06in the past, Gus. It's those sorts of moments that has probably caused the All Blacks to
00:04:11not have the momentum and the flow that they've been able to get previously.
00:04:15Yeah, I mean, there's a couple of guys who haven't played a lot of rugby, but I also think
00:04:18this is what happens with a bit of scoreboard pressure. Wales start hot. They score two tries
00:04:22early. Then you start to think, well, maybe I need to create something here. I've got a little
00:04:25half gap here. I'll try and throw a little offload, and then the execution's not coming up,
00:04:29and then any momentum you're trying to build is just stumped. And that's, I mean, you give
00:04:33that back to Wales, who are red hot right now. You can't.
00:04:36It did feel, though, like the All Blacks were starting to claw back some of the momentum
00:04:40late in that first half. Do you expect that that has settled them a bit then at halftime
00:04:44and then looking forward to the second?
00:04:45Like I said, I'm not going to say it. I'll leave this one to you.
00:04:48It's out of the prediction game.
00:04:49I know what I'm thinking, but I'm not going to say it just in case it's the opposite.
00:04:52No, absolutely. I don't think psychologically how big a dagger that Fahey tried right
00:04:58on halftime. You can see Wales want to get to halftime. They want to get there with their
00:05:01lead, and they had plenty of opportunities to get the ball off the park. They just failed
00:05:05to do so.
00:05:05We'll be right.
00:05:06Right, well, let's head over now to our dear friend, Ravinda Hunia from TA.
00:05:11Keeping track of those odds throughout this one, because they would have been fluctuating
00:05:14left, right and centre throughout that first half. Right, well, stay with us, because the
00:05:18second half is coming up next to hear on Sky Sport. It is Wales All Blacks locked at 21
00:05:24and all at halftime.
00:05:33The Expedia halftime show. Your getaway sorted with flights, stays, activities and more all
00:05:39in one place. Expedia, the one place you go to go places.
00:05:47Kia ora no. Welcome back to what has quickly become a fascinating test match between Wales
00:05:53and the All Blacks. Three converted tries apiece. 21 all. Yes, 21 all at halftime. Let's head
00:06:01back to Principality Stadium and Mills Maliana. Mills, what a first half.
00:06:08Oh, it's been a frantic first half. Wales absolutely exploded out of the blocks. The All Blacks, though,
00:06:14they've clawed their way back to even things up. We've seen expansiveness. We've certainly
00:06:17seen physicality. This game still very much in the balance. Plenty more to come in the second half.
00:06:29Thanks, Bills. Yes, certainly a remarkable first half. Players, certainly the All Blacks,
00:06:35back on the field anyway. They'll have a quick skirt around to see whether they've made any
00:06:40replacements. Cortez Ratemar was in a wee bit of strife just before halftime, but it looks
00:06:46like he has rejoined the fray. And the All Blacks, as far as we can see, are intact.
00:06:55The starting 15 are out there. We haven't sighted Wales yet, but 21 all at halftime.
00:07:04And no question, Mills, Wales have come to play. Oh, gee, I tell you, the way they started
00:07:10that first half, the physicality that they brought, but also the composure is exactly
00:07:15what they needed. It's important now for them that they come out and do exactly the
00:07:19same. The All Blacks, on the other hand, well, they've got themselves back in the game.
00:07:24Found that rhythm in scoring just before the break. They often call it those championship
00:07:28minutes before the break and just after. So crucial to getting that momentum back into
00:07:34your side.
00:07:37The All Blacks have been out there now for about two minutes. Wales about to join them.
00:07:4514-0 Wales led inside the first ten minutes.
00:07:52We're Low Enhams at BC.
00:07:52And the All Blacks have managed to claw it back. R sustiti.
00:07:57And winning and not four scored their tries. And there's a lot to look forward to the er
00:08:03. In this second half.
00:08:08The 39th clash, the All Blacks have won 35, Wales just three, the last of those back in 1953.
00:08:33So everybody back on the field and it won't be long before we are underway.
00:08:41In front of a crowd of around about 56,000.
00:08:47Right, whistle blows and Costello gets us going in the second half.
00:08:52Taken down by Scott Barrett for the All Blacks.
00:08:56And Ratama, who was in some difficulty just before the break, will clear it away for Wallace Sotiti.
00:09:05And driven back in the tackle.
00:09:08So Ratama lining up on his left boot.
00:09:13Push on the line, thank you.
00:09:18Gets it high in the air.
00:09:20Going back after it is Heimer Webb.
00:09:21Oh, he never got anywhere near it.
00:09:23Or he knocked it on, or the All Blacks did in fact.
00:09:27So the referee claiming that it came forward from an All Black, not sure about that.
00:09:31Yeah, I think that came off Heimer Webb.
00:09:35The All Blacks though, Anaki there.
00:09:37They've really tried it.
00:09:38Let's go down.
00:09:39That wing side there, they've got some good dividend too.
00:09:42The All Blacks.
00:09:55Very hard to get a reading on the scrums in the first half.
00:09:57There were so many penalties.
00:09:58Yeah, technicalities too, wasn't it?
00:10:01Looking at the arm, changing your grip afterwards.
00:10:05That's particularly a loose head sight.
00:10:11Touch!
00:10:12Sink!
00:10:15Mind!
00:10:18Set!
00:10:20Williams to get it in.
00:10:22Gets it away quickly too for Costello.
00:10:25Out into the midfield.
00:10:27Spinning out of a tackle was Flewellyn.
00:10:30And it's there just in All Black territory for Williams.
00:10:35Costello puts his foot down.
00:10:37Dragged down a good tackle though by Anton Leonard-Brown.
00:10:40Now it opens up for Reece Zammett.
00:10:43Down the right wing side, a constant threat.
00:10:48Setiti over it but just couldn't get a hand on the ball.
00:10:52And Wales again starting strongly.
00:10:54There's Williams, away for Costello.
00:10:57Now it's James.
00:11:00Now it's a Botham.
00:11:04James Botham.
00:11:06Grandson of the great cricketer Ian Botham.
00:11:09On it goes for Lake.
00:11:12Williams.
00:11:13Again the crowd rising as Wales attack.
00:11:16Ten metres away.
00:11:18Nobody's there.
00:11:20Williams goes again.
00:11:23Good defence on the part of the All Blacks.
00:11:29Building nicely right in front of the posts.
00:11:34Williams drops the short pass off to Smith.
00:11:36South.
00:11:42Patient build up here by the Welsh.
00:11:46Here goes Basham.
00:11:48Driven back strongly though by Tupaya.
00:11:51Wales though.
00:11:53Keep it going.
00:11:54All Blacks might have turned this.
00:11:56No they haven't.
00:11:59He's got a penalty advantage coming for Wales.
00:12:03As Williams looks left and right.
00:12:05Goes left.
00:12:07And held up.
00:12:10Still playing under the penalty advantage.
00:12:12It is now.
00:12:15Right there for Wales.
00:12:18Williams slings it wide.
00:12:21Eddie James puts Wales back in front.
00:12:28And again they come out of the break.
00:12:31Wales put pressure on the All Blacks.
00:12:36Broke the line.
00:12:37That's what got him inside that 22.
00:12:39Then they showed composure and patience here.
00:12:42This is the earlier break.
00:12:44Reece Zamet I think was the man that got through desperate defence from the All Blacks.
00:12:51But Williams, he's been outstanding today.
00:12:54The halfback.
00:12:55Found some space on that far edge.
00:12:58Tupaya snuck out.
00:13:00Jones, he's over.
00:13:04Toughest kick of all for Sam Costello.
00:13:10But he's bang on.
00:13:15So Wales start well again.
00:13:20On the wide pass from Williams.
00:13:23To Eddie James.
00:13:27Spenties.
00:13:28Better time in Linwood.
00:13:31In Christchurch than Eddie James.
00:13:33But they celebrate another try.
00:13:44Bowden Barrett with the kickoff.
00:13:48Taken down nicely and claimed by Basham who's having a very good game.
00:13:53In place of Adam Wainwright.
00:13:56One of the key figures in the Welsh squad.
00:13:58Not available because of injury.
00:14:02Use it.
00:14:05Barrett, Scott Barrett ready to charge here at Williams.
00:14:09Got it up in the air though.
00:14:12And all taken down by Hamer Webb.
00:14:14So Wales back in possession.
00:14:18Now away from Murray.
00:14:21Charged.
00:14:23And the All Blacks.
00:14:25Take it.
00:14:26Take Costello.
00:14:27Right in centre field.
00:14:34Now Williams again.
00:14:36Looking for some runners.
00:14:40Finds one in the form of Adam Beard.
00:14:42No way.
00:14:44Still there though for Thomas Williams.
00:14:49Use nine.
00:14:56Fairly shallow kick.
00:14:59Morby just knocked it on trying to grab it.
00:15:02So Wales have it again and Williams kicks again.
00:15:06Moanga chasing back.
00:15:08Gets the call from Barrett.
00:15:10He's on a much better angle.
00:15:12And he's undecided here Bowden Barrett.
00:15:15Had a flick at the gap.
00:15:18Welsh coming in very quickly though to make the tackles.
00:15:22And penalty.
00:15:25Well they took a risk the All Blacks.
00:15:29And it did not pay off.
00:15:31No.
00:15:32Just got a little bit indecisive.
00:15:33The space was initially there for Bowden Barrett.
00:15:37And then as he made it got himself isolated.
00:15:40Trying to get himself out of trouble.
00:15:42Forced the pass.
00:15:43He was smothered.
00:15:46And right in behind.
00:15:47And so they were backtracking.
00:15:49There it is there.
00:15:50Over the top.
00:15:51There's that man there.
00:15:52Morgan.
00:16:01Well decision made.
00:16:03To kick for the corner.
00:16:04Once again.
00:16:07And it's a good one.
00:16:14So once again the All Blacks find themselves.
00:16:17Very much under pressure.
00:16:20Coach Steve Tandy.
00:16:35So Lake with the throw.
00:16:37Taken in by Beard.
00:16:39All Blacks let them have it.
00:16:47All Blacks let them have it.
00:16:49Making some progress.
00:16:50Now.
00:16:52Almost got there.
00:16:53Williams goes wide.
00:16:55And Reece Samet.
00:16:58Beautifully constructed try.
00:17:00To Lewis.
00:17:02Reece Samet.
00:17:02Oh.
00:17:03And you've got to take your hat off.
00:17:06To their captain.
00:17:08Because he made.
00:17:09An excellent decision.
00:17:11A crucial one as well.
00:17:14Because it was initially.
00:17:15Stopped.
00:17:17By the All Blacks.
00:17:19Have a look there.
00:17:20And defended.
00:17:21He had the opportunity to try and reach out.
00:17:23He didn't.
00:17:24And Williams once again.
00:17:26With a pass.
00:17:27Gee.
00:17:28Wales go bang bang.
00:17:33Well he didn't have much to do.
00:17:37The outstanding Reece Samet.
00:17:40And celebrations from Steve Tandy.
00:17:42And the Welsh coaching team.
00:17:45They made the decision.
00:17:46To go to the corner.
00:17:48When the three points were on offer.
00:17:50And it certainly paid dividends.
00:17:53Another conversion.
00:17:57And Wales have back to the 14 point lead.
00:18:01They held in the first half.
00:18:10Time off.
00:18:12One and three.
00:18:13The all Blacks are making changes here.
00:18:17Outside the two props.
00:18:20Great prop.
00:18:22George Bower.
00:18:23Fle� früher.
00:18:25Tosses on.
00:18:26Xavier.
00:18:27But 측man on.
00:18:29I notice also that the Welsh captain has gone up the tunnel.
00:18:33Whether that's an HIA, we'll have to wait and see.
00:18:36Ryan Elias will be on.
00:18:39The kick off is made.
00:18:42Inside.
00:18:43Still inside the 22 for Williams.
00:18:47Moanga waiting back to receive the kick.
00:18:53Straight across to Bowdoin Barrett.
00:18:55The All Blacks will look to counter-attack if they can.
00:18:58Bowdoin Barrett drops the pass off for Satiti.
00:19:01Makes it up almost halfway for Ratama.
00:19:06Tosse in the action early.
00:19:09Omua, big defence on the All Black hooker.
00:19:14Ball is there though for Ratama.
00:19:20Tarried up by Xavier Numia.
00:19:24Now Satiti. Moanga looks to go through.
00:19:28Richie Moanga, nice break.
00:19:29Got it off to Ratama, down to the 10 metre line.
00:19:32Go away, go away.
00:19:33Ball is there for Satiti to clear out.
00:19:36Now Scott Barrett.
00:19:39All Blacks didn't have much cattle away to the right.
00:19:42So took the tackle.
00:19:44Here's Satiti.
00:19:46Drops it away.
00:19:47Here's Anton Leonard.
00:19:48Brown in a bit of space.
00:19:50Couldn't get an offload there.
00:19:52Now Barrett hands it up for Quintupaya.
00:19:58Ratama again.
00:20:00Satiti charging onto it.
00:20:02Ratama goes again.
00:20:03Now it's Larkai.
00:20:0620 metres away from the goal line.
00:20:09Ratama again.
00:20:10Leonard Brown, quick hands.
00:20:12Now Finiangan Nofo got it back to Barrett.
00:20:14Held in the tackle.
00:20:16Popped it up to Segner.
00:20:18Welsh defence holding nicely.
00:20:21Ratama drops the pass off to Scott Barrett.
00:20:27Off it goes.
00:20:29Here is Numeir.
00:20:30Where is the ball?
00:20:32Was it held?
00:20:36Ratama again.
00:20:37Now it's Finiangan Nofo.
00:20:41Ratama a bit slow.
00:20:43Held in the tackle though.
00:20:46Numeir gets over it.
00:20:47He's got Oumuha there with him.
00:20:49Now he gets it.
00:20:51Fires the pass to Titi.
00:20:53Now quick hands required.
00:20:55Leonard Brown taken.
00:20:58Barrett goes in.
00:21:00Looks to clear it.
00:21:01Ball bounces loose in the arms of Reece Samet.
00:21:04Come back.
00:21:05Come back.
00:21:06Come back.
00:21:06Come back.
00:21:08He played a penalty advantage.
00:21:10A long one.
00:21:12Oh, this is a very long advantage.
00:21:14Six.
00:21:15Six.
00:21:16Sleeves up sort of stuff here from the other.
00:21:18Desperate defence here from the Welsh side.
00:21:23Have a look at that.
00:21:24Right on the line.
00:21:26Eddie James.
00:21:27Yes.
00:21:27We need to get a look out of the record.
00:21:29Very funny.
00:21:33I know to Barrett complaining to the referee about something.
00:21:38Time off.
00:21:38Quite sure.
00:21:40Yeah, time off.
00:21:44Yeah, we are checking something on the record.
00:21:46Yeah, let us know.
00:21:49Wait, wait.
00:21:57They are going to check.
00:21:59I think it might be a tackle.
00:22:00I think it is.
00:22:01They're checking the tackle where there was a hit drop.
00:22:06Yeah, yeah.
00:22:08We check it.
00:22:09We check it.
00:22:09It was a penalty only regarding the fact.
00:22:11With no direct contact on the leg, just on the ground first.
00:22:14So no more than a penalty for a hit drop tackle.
00:22:16And then we play for our feet.
00:22:18So for me, it was fine.
00:22:20So it's not in protocol to come back.
00:22:21There is no choice.
00:22:22We stick with our feet.
00:22:25No.
00:22:25No.
00:22:27No.
00:22:28No.
00:22:28No.
00:22:31So the up shot of it all is they're not checking anything.
00:22:34No.
00:22:34And it's a penalty to the All Blacks.
00:22:42So the All Blacks take a tap and get close to the line.
00:22:47Ratama drops it off.
00:22:49What is that?
00:22:51Ball is there.
00:22:56Now it goes short and the All Blacks do score.
00:23:01And it's Peter Larkai who comes up with a try.
00:23:09In this match of many tries, the All Blacks have another.
00:23:14Oh, they do.
00:23:15And it was no-nonsense sort of stuff.
00:23:16They tried to set it up here with some deviation.
00:23:20But then it just came back to the hard ball carries that we've seen earlier.
00:23:23Setiti's been involved.
00:23:25Larkai has been outstanding.
00:23:26Showed a bit of footwork.
00:23:27That was the key to find that scene.
00:23:31And some determination, too, to get over the line.
00:23:35Yeah, yeah, on my side the ball, the top of the ball, top of the line.
00:23:41Conversion is made.
00:23:43The top of the ball, top of the line.
00:23:4635 points to 28.
00:23:48And Wales are making wholesale changes now.
00:24:05And Wales are making wholesale changes now.
00:24:11So we'll try and pick those up for you as we go along.
00:24:17At the moment, the All Blacks change their props.
00:24:26So from halfway, it's Costello to get us going again.
00:24:32Barrett Waits goes early, takes it in nicely.
00:24:35First man, first man.
00:24:39This will come for Cortez Ratama.
00:24:44Away for Omoa.
00:24:47As the All Blacks look to settle it, just out from the 22.
00:24:55Ratama.
00:24:59Gee whiz, almost got caught out.
00:25:01Was clever enough to get the ball away though, to Moonga.
00:25:05And it goes down to Blair Murray.
00:25:08Costello gets it wide.
00:25:10Here's Reece Zamet.
00:25:13Man who had a crack at the NFL in the States.
00:25:16Didn't quite work out.
00:25:18Back in rugby.
00:25:20All black off his feet.
00:25:22All black off his feet.
00:25:22So here's a penalty coming for Wales.
00:25:25Williams.
00:25:27Got it off to one of the replacement players, Gareth Thomas.
00:25:33As Wales build it up.
00:25:37Now Costello.
00:25:41Take it down.
00:25:42Ten metre line.
00:25:44Still playing under this penalty advantage.
00:25:46Taken away by Williams.
00:25:48Once again, Thomas.
00:25:49Williams.
00:25:50Go, go, go, go, go.
00:25:51Go.
00:25:52He's out.
00:25:53Williams.
00:25:54And no advantage there.
00:25:56So back for another penalty.
00:26:01Boy, there's been a few in the game.
00:26:0418 in fact.
00:26:09The All Blacks can ill afford this.
00:26:12Wales.
00:26:13Want to go to the corner once again.
00:26:16Picked up.
00:26:17Five points the last time they.
00:26:19They did so.
00:26:28So once again, marching inside the 22.
00:26:3316 minutes gone, second half.
00:27:10The All Blacks get a little bit of a bonus.
00:27:16From a wonky throw by the Welsh.
00:27:22Now Ratama able to clear it off.
00:27:26Down towards the ten metre line.
00:27:32Scott Barrett was the guy who got up.
00:27:34They got him up in the air.
00:27:35Yeah, there you go.
00:27:38Putting some pressure on.
00:27:39Need to go again.
00:27:40The All Blacks, what do they do?
00:27:44They're forming up to try and stop a drive.
00:27:49So.
00:27:54Elias throws again.
00:27:55This time tipped on the Welsh side.
00:27:59And that will be there eventually for Williams.
00:28:08Now Williams looks like he's gonna kick.
00:28:10Moanga getting back inside the 22.
00:28:13Stop, stop.
00:28:15This will be a contest.
00:28:17He's been knocked on.
00:28:18Advantage.
00:28:19And Bowden Barrett comes away with it.
00:28:21Now Larkai.
00:28:22Just couldn't free it away to the right.
00:28:25Now Ratama sends it wide for Tossi.
00:28:29Here's Moanga getting into a gap.
00:28:32The ball is there.
00:28:35Satiti fires it back.
00:28:37Now Lord.
00:28:39Okay, fine.
00:28:43Ratama again.
00:28:45Coming down around about halfway.
00:28:48And leaping up and grabbing it was Segner.
00:28:51No way!
00:28:52So the All Blacks have it.
00:28:53Just on their own side of halfway.
00:28:58Now Lord.
00:29:00Ratama back in position.
00:29:02Off to Moanga.
00:29:03Feeds it up to Anton Leonard-Brown.
00:29:06Defence and centre field for the Welsh has been really strong.
00:29:11Now Omoa charging hard.
00:29:14Makes a good five metres.
00:29:17Moanga for Lord.
00:29:19He frees it up for Larkai.
00:29:22Hasn't got much support at the moment.
00:29:24Lincoln up finally with Tupiah.
00:29:29There it is for Satiti.
00:29:31Wallace Satiti goes straight ahead.
00:29:33Five metres short.
00:29:35Ratama feeds it up.
00:29:37Again it's Tupiah.
00:29:39Radama now.
00:29:40Sagner.
00:29:42Right there.
00:29:45Satiti.
00:29:46Held up.
00:29:50Boy.
00:29:51What an electrifying burst by Larkai.
00:29:54Oh nice ball wasn't it from Josh Lord.
00:29:56And then the decision to have a look around as he burst onto that did Larkai.
00:30:01Found Finianganoffo on the left hand side.
00:30:05Defence here.
00:30:07From Wales.
00:30:09Outstanding.
00:30:09Look at that.
00:30:10Bang.
00:30:10There he goes.
00:30:11Larkai.
00:30:15On to Finianganoffo.
00:30:17Yep.
00:30:18Wallace Satiti.
00:30:18They just got underneath him.
00:30:21This is the rhythm they're wanting to play out the back door.
00:30:2416.
00:30:25Sacrificial runner.
00:30:33Twisting and turning but couldn't get her on the grass.
00:30:36Water off please.
00:30:38Water off please.
00:30:38The Wales have their captain back.
00:30:48Sorry sir.
00:30:51Down as far as Tupaya.
00:30:54He's got Satiti.
00:30:55To charge back at the opposition.
00:30:57Goes hard too.
00:30:58Wallace Satiti.
00:31:00As Ratama slings it wide.
00:31:03Tossie did well.
00:31:05Moanga.
00:31:06Good footwork from Richie Moanga.
00:31:09Moanga.
00:31:09As Ratama.
00:31:10Feeds it off.
00:31:12Nice combination between Omoa and.
00:31:14And.
00:31:16Numeir.
00:31:17Numeir.
00:31:17Go, go, go.
00:31:18Numeir.
00:31:19He's there again for Ratama.
00:31:20Staying blindside.
00:31:22With Anton Lennep.
00:31:25Here's Omoa.
00:31:27Throwing himself at the opposition.
00:31:30Tossie.
00:31:31Next cab off the rink.
00:31:33Is it doing good huh?
00:31:35Now Numeir.
00:31:36Slips the pass.
00:31:37For Tupaya.
00:31:39Okay thank you.
00:31:39Building nicely inside the 22 again.
00:31:44Carried on by Xavier Numeir.
00:31:48Onside.
00:31:50Larkai.
00:31:52Ten meters away.
00:31:54No lift, Rayon.
00:31:57Tossie.
00:31:58Away too.
00:32:02Again, stays away to the left.
00:32:05For Satiti.
00:32:06Tossie.
00:32:11Tossie once more.
00:32:13Welsh defence holding.
00:32:15Segna.
00:32:18High work rate is always.
00:32:21Now Tupaya.
00:32:24Tupaya.
00:32:25Tupaya stepping nicely.
00:32:27Lays it for Ratama.
00:32:29Pops it up for Omoa.
00:32:30Pops it up for Omoa.
00:32:31Pops it up for Omoa.
00:32:32Pops it up for Omoa.
00:32:32Now they've got a bit of momentum going.
00:32:35Little pass off to Moanga.
00:32:37Well held back.
00:32:39Oh, I think he ripped the ball.
00:32:41Play on.
00:32:42Play on says the referee.
00:32:46Ratama goes again.
00:32:48Tupaya.
00:32:50Decides to concede in the tackle.
00:32:53All Blacks panning out to the right here.
00:32:56Oh, that wasn't expected that pass.
00:32:59Ratama goes again.
00:33:00Here's Bowden Barrett looking to get into a gap.
00:33:04Ratama has to become part of the ruck.
00:33:07Segna in a good scrap.
00:33:09Ball's been turned over.
00:33:11Ratama.
00:33:13Might have been taking Blumtree on the field, I think.
00:33:17Might have done that.
00:33:19So Wales have survived.
00:33:21And the long clearing kick down to Moanga.
00:33:23Standing on halfway.
00:33:25And the All Blacks will go again.
00:33:28Beats the first one.
00:33:31And sets it up again.
00:33:33For Ratama.
00:33:35Straight across to Omoa.
00:33:39Wales having to make a lot of tackles.
00:33:41They're playing under penalty advantage now.
00:33:43Here's Bowden Barrett.
00:33:44Away for Tupaya.
00:33:46Right in centre field again.
00:33:48As Ratama fends it off to Leonard Brown.
00:33:52Finianganofo.
00:33:54There it is again for Ratama.
00:33:58The two props combined.
00:34:00Tossi and Numea.
00:34:02Ratama drops it off.
00:34:04Alakai again.
00:34:06Ball is there for Ratama.
00:34:08Reb really turned up the screws here.
00:34:11The All Blacks.
00:34:14And they'll go back for a penalty.
00:34:18Time off.
00:34:20Captain.
00:34:23There is some solid defence there.
00:34:25From the Wales side.
00:34:28The All Blacks rolling their sleeves up.
00:34:31Direct runners trying to get some quicker ball around the corner.
00:34:35They're just lacking in the first side for two holes.
00:34:38Lacking is a little bit slow on that clean out.
00:34:40Yes.
00:34:41One extra play out.
00:34:41One extra play out.
00:34:43It's nearly starting to hurt the Wales side.
00:34:45But gee, I'll tell you what.
00:34:46They are showing plenty of heart.
00:34:48Wales on defence.
00:34:54So the All Blacks have the ball, looks like they're going to tap it here.
00:35:03So it is tapped by Asafa Omoa, and they take it to the center for Ratama.
00:35:10Drops it off for Satiti, gets a hand from Segner.
00:35:14Ratama goes again, Scott Barrett.
00:35:18Now Ratama, up for Segner.
00:35:22The goal line right there, Larkai.
00:35:27Throwing themselves at the opposition.
00:35:29Change of direction from Ratama, they go back to the left.
00:35:36Wales defense is outstanding.
00:35:39Now Barrett.
00:35:41Ball is available.
00:35:44Ratama goes again.
00:35:46Now a charge by Numia.
00:35:49Shot.
00:35:51Ratama hands it up, and...
00:35:55Referee looking closely, he's not sure.
00:35:59I've got to hold depth at the stage.
00:36:02I've got to hold depth.
00:36:05Bright defeats.
00:36:08I just want to be sure if the first contact is short or on the line.
00:36:15Time off, we've got to play on there.
00:36:16It's up, the ball's up.
00:36:19Yeah.
00:36:19So, on field decision, no try, I've got to hold depth.
00:36:24I just want to check if the first contact is on the ground.
00:36:27On the line or short?
00:36:28Time off point.
00:36:33On field decision is no try because the ball is held up.
00:36:37We'll look at the potential grounding by 17 black.
00:36:44So, Tuel Traianini of France to have a look at this.
00:37:03In the meantime, the All Blacks are making replacements.
00:37:07George Bell is on.
00:37:21Never got it to the ground.
00:37:23I think this is the best angle.
00:37:26Can we have a replay on that one, please, Lewis?
00:37:28Push this hand here right at the last moment.
00:37:32Yeah, we have a decision, Lewis, we have a decision, please.
00:37:35Yeah.
00:37:37We still be confident, this is your no try.
00:37:39Hold it.
00:37:40Once again, brilliant defence by the Welsh.
00:37:45Okay.
00:37:46And play to continue.
00:37:47Substitution.
00:37:49Yeah.
00:37:50Nine and ten.
00:37:55And Wales making a change at nine and ten as well.
00:38:01Yeah.
00:38:02Well, how good has Thomas Williams been today?
00:38:06And indeed Sam Costello.
00:38:08They have the two playmakers in outstanding games.
00:38:13Looks like Ruben Morgan Williams is on in jersey 21.
00:38:18So this is Dan Edwards.
00:38:20And he'll do the drop out from the goal line.
00:38:25Down as far as Tupaya.
00:38:27All Blacks have Leicester Whangarnuku on the field in 21.
00:38:32So some real firepower joining.
00:38:35Tosse, Segna, Moanga.
00:38:39Here's Finianganolfo busting out of a tackle.
00:38:41Off he goes.
00:38:42He's got to stay in the field of play.
00:38:44And he just did.
00:38:46And no more.
00:38:47No, he didn't.
00:38:53It took a long time to put the flag up.
00:38:55Yeah, I'm not quite sure he's seen what had happened.
00:38:58It was just that last defender that came across and pushed him out.
00:39:01Great work from Finianganolfo.
00:39:03They found some space.
00:39:04Finally, the All Blacks showed some footwork and some power to get away from his defender.
00:39:09Look at the desperation here from Wales.
00:39:17Line-out throw for Lake.
00:39:22Nicely taken in by Plumtree.
00:39:26Okay.
00:39:27Offside.
00:39:28Yeah.
00:39:29Never attend.
00:39:30Break the line.
00:39:31Offside against the Welsh.
00:39:32He broke that early.
00:39:33We've seen that last night.
00:39:34Yes, we did.
00:39:35Yeah.
00:39:35He was way early.
00:39:37Where's the mark?
00:39:39On the five.
00:39:41So now the All Blacks.
00:39:42Okay.
00:39:44Bell's gone to the line.
00:39:45They're gonna tap it.
00:39:46Back there.
00:39:47Mark is there.
00:39:50So not attend breaks the line.
00:39:52Jamie Hannah's out there as well.
00:39:55In 19.
00:39:56So Bell takes it.
00:39:58And off he goes.
00:39:59To the five-meter line.
00:40:03Preston on as well.
00:40:05Here is Hannah.
00:40:08Kyle Preston.
00:40:10Feeds it up for Numia.
00:40:12And again the All Blacks continue to hammer away.
00:40:16Bying Onuku strapping his way downfield.
00:40:22Turnover again.
00:40:23In Plumtree.
00:40:23In Plumtree.
00:40:26Use it.
00:40:30So Wales continue to defy the All Blacks.
00:40:34And they get the clearing kick away too.
00:40:39Playing Onuku.
00:40:40Yeah.
00:40:41He's dead on that ball.
00:40:42Straight over at Plumtree.
00:40:48It looks like Leicester is on for Wallace Tititi.
00:40:54On your side.
00:40:57Thirteen minutes remaining.
00:41:03Bell's first line out throw to Hannah.
00:41:06And it works well.
00:41:08Taken in by Segner.
00:41:09Now Preston.
00:41:10Works it away for Tupaya.
00:41:13Charging hard inside the 22.
00:41:15Preston frees it up.
00:41:16Hannah goes hard.
00:41:20Now Bell.
00:41:22Big chop tackle there.
00:41:24By Morgan Williams.
00:41:27All Blacks have a man down.
00:41:29I think it is Jamie Hannah.
00:41:31In back play.
00:41:32As Preston.
00:41:35Carried on by Feing Onuku.
00:41:37Hannah very slow to get going again.
00:41:40I think he's struggling badly.
00:41:42Might be a shoulder.
00:41:44Or an arm.
00:41:45Here's Numir.
00:41:51Now Bell.
00:41:53Got it away for.
00:41:55Quinn Tupaya.
00:41:56Snapped up by Preston.
00:41:58Has a little crack himself.
00:42:00They're still 15 metres short of the line here.
00:42:03Hannah being attended to.
00:42:05Tosse takes it in.
00:42:06Tupaya brings it out again.
00:42:09Welsh look to get over the top.
00:42:13Now Numir.
00:42:19Preston clears it off to Feing Onuku.
00:42:22From pretty much from a standing start.
00:42:26Welsh defence.
00:42:28Is so good.
00:42:32Preston brings it out for Bell.
00:42:35Good run by Bell.
00:42:36Not hell.
00:42:37So off he went again.
00:42:41Now it's with Leonard Brown.
00:42:44Man over the top.
00:42:45But he's off his feet well and truly.
00:42:49All Blacks continue to build.
00:42:52Five metres away.
00:42:54Preston feeds it up for Feing Onuku.
00:43:00Now.
00:43:01Go.
00:43:02From on.
00:43:03Ho.
00:43:06To.

00:43:27oh that's just desperation there hearty the all blacks had numbers
00:43:31they needed to go out the back door on that right hand side
00:43:39but the defense and the effort at the moment from wales
00:43:43absolutely outstanding
00:43:46what you do
00:43:56jamie hannah's gone and ethan blackadder is on
00:44:03okay let's go okay
00:44:09wales bringing further players on
00:44:16and once again the skipper leaving this time being replaced
00:44:24so back to dan ewards we go for another restart
00:44:29gives it a good thumb down as far as quinn tupiah here's leicester whanganuku
00:44:3710 out from the 22 the all blacks set themselves again tosse
00:44:42making a good charge up the middle now kyle preston oh tupiah had to stretch for that
00:44:48he brought it in though and it's there for preston running away from his supports though
00:44:55good hands from morby
00:44:59and it's there for preston tosse goes again this defense is quite outstanding from the welsh
00:45:07the all blacks are going to find a way through it very nearly did there too combination of moanga and
00:45:13lakai
00:45:15now a short pass to riko joani who's also on the field
00:45:20now numeer
00:45:23makes a few meters down towards the 22
00:45:27wales continue to lead by seven
00:45:31now there's a bit of space for bird and barrett
00:45:34fires it wide for morby but again the welsh defense is there
00:45:41now segner and they've knocked it off
00:45:49that's huge
00:45:52the welsh are pouring their hearts into this defensive effort even when they have their line broken
00:45:59the scramble and the effort that they're getting across to then slow things down have a look at this
00:46:05barrett goes wide
00:46:07morby has to chop back in have a look at those welsh numbers there all coming across
00:46:17and that's where it broke down
00:46:23wow welsh crowd starting to sing maybe starting to sense a bit of history
00:46:29maybe certainly the way their side is played and the effort that's been put poured into this game
00:46:36hard to remember when the game was last in the all-black territory
00:46:44when we get down here by smothering the ball a little bit not releasing clearly
00:46:50i didn't see any clear impact on the continuity and the speed of the ball i got your point
00:46:55as soon as clear i penalize
00:47:05well this crowd a great heart
00:47:09quite a lengthy break here and we'll go to a scrum

00:48:20to clear it away down into all-black territory barrett is back he'll look to counter attack
00:48:30as a quick look and decides to make the kick
00:48:33and charging on it himself and he took it well bowden barrett
00:48:37so the all-blacks have it right in center field
00:48:40moreby having to play halfback gets the pass away to moonga

00:51:37our referee's blowing the whistle here we've got a problem
00:51:43now what is it
00:51:45he's going back for a knock on there i initially thought it came off
00:51:49yeah the hands of a welsh player trying to scoop it back
00:51:53he's got a call from upstairs
00:52:02yeah it's in this contact here
00:52:12yeah it's it's a welsh hand
00:52:14yeah it's it's a welsh hand everyone's trying to grab grab it and that's where it's come off his hand
00:52:17as well
00:52:18you
00:52:25look at those tackles i mean they've just been immense 254 they're been to make the all black's 122
00:52:38But they've been hearty tackles, they've been stopping your tracks, making the ruck ball
00:52:43really messy for the All Blacks and they haven't been able to get that rhythm that they've
00:52:48desired because of the effectiveness of those tackles.
00:52:55Four minutes to go at the Principality.
00:52:59It hasn't happened since 1953.
00:53:04Not many expected it to happen today, but it most certainly could.
00:53:11Time off.
00:53:14Sorry, I can't, I can't do the, just the stadium slumps.
00:53:19Give, both sides keep the space first, let's go.
00:53:36Big scrum this one.
00:53:38Time back on.
00:53:40Control, control.
00:53:41Let's go Mike!
00:53:42Coach!
00:53:45Right!
00:53:49Set!
00:53:50Right, so Morgan Williams to get it in.
00:53:54All Blacks driving hard, it comes over Morgan Williams.
00:53:58And the clearing kick is gonna be into touch.
00:54:03What a kick that is.
00:54:05Yeah.
00:54:06What a kick that is.
00:54:10The All Blacks now are inside their own half and just listen to that crowd.
00:54:19Look at that.
00:54:20What a great shot.
00:54:23And that crowd is going nuts.
00:54:28What a kick that.
00:54:29Oh, wow.
00:54:30Come on.
00:54:30Welsh rugby, been in the doldrums for years.
00:54:34Could this be the catalyst.
00:54:36Come right on.
00:54:41Bell
00:54:43Dragged down by Sedna
00:54:45The All Blacks
00:54:46One last shot at it perhaps
00:54:50Flying Inuku
00:54:54The defence has been the key
00:54:57So the All Blacks try to run it out
00:54:59Through Mawanga
00:55:02Over the touchline he goes
00:55:08They are inspired
00:55:10The Welsh team
00:55:13Oh again
00:55:14That's a defence
00:55:18Less than three minutes to go
00:55:19Look at all that desperation to get across
00:55:21The All Blacks are throwing everything at it at the moment
00:55:32Inside the last two minutes
00:55:37If Wales can win this line-out
00:55:39They could very nearly kill the game off
00:55:42Okay, time back on
00:55:46They do win the line-out
00:55:51And they are making progress
00:55:55Up over the 10-metre line they go
00:55:58That's one
00:56:06Now, bringing the ball away
00:56:09But it's on the Welsh side
00:56:1290 seconds remaining
00:56:19All Blacks after the ball
00:56:20Can't turn it over
00:56:23So it's there for Morgan Williams again
00:56:27Plum tree
00:56:33Proud and great voice
00:56:35Wales
00:56:37Looking not to concede a penalty
00:56:42Into the last minute of the game
00:56:45All Blacks desperately get their hands on it
00:56:48But they can't
00:56:49Use it
00:56:51Use it
00:56:52Morgan Williams again
00:56:58Use it
00:56:59Use it
00:57:00Use it
00:57:01Use it
00:57:01Seconds ticking by
00:57:03Morgan Williams
00:57:05Up to Plum tree
00:57:07He's had some sort of game since he came on
00:57:1230 seconds remaining
00:57:16Proud on their feet
00:57:19All Blacks looking to drive over
00:57:21Still can't get their hands on it
00:57:30Just seconds
00:57:38One more phase perhaps
00:57:42Past the 80 minutes we go
00:57:48History
00:57:49In Cardiff
00:57:50As Wales
00:57:52Beat the All Blacks
00:57:55For the first time
00:57:57Since 1953
00:58:04Finally
00:58:07That 73 year drought has come
00:58:31It was a hearty performance really
00:58:35From this Welsh side
00:58:37They brought the physicality
00:58:41And they brought the desperation
00:58:44And thoroughly
00:58:45Thoroughly deserve this victory
00:58:51Look at the emotion
00:58:5856,000 on their feet
00:59:03And as Mills said
00:59:04And as Mills said
00:59:05A thoroughly deserved victory
00:59:07Built
00:59:08On their second half defence
00:59:10How good
00:59:12So good
00:59:14The effort that they came on
00:59:16You've got to stay connected
00:59:17They were
00:59:18The All Blacks threatened the line
00:59:20So many times
00:59:20They basically parked themselves
00:59:22Inside the 22
00:59:23The 5 metre
00:59:25And look at the scenes here
00:59:26And look at the scenes here
00:59:28I tell you
00:59:2955,000 were here tonight
00:59:3370,000 this place

00:59:44The first Welsh-born coach
00:59:47Of Wales
00:59:48Since 2007
00:59:52And he's done
00:59:53What so many other coaches
00:59:55Haven't been able to do
00:59:56And that is
00:59:57Beat the All Blacks
00:59:58It's their fourth win
01:00:00Over the All Blacks
01:00:02In 39 games
