8 min: Decent start this from the tourists - they win a second line-out, and there's another cross-kick - great take from Halfpenny, and he's almost through - ball lost again in contact. All Blacks back three being targeted in the air, and it's working nicely at the mo.
6 min: Here come Wales again - cross-kick from S Jones to Halfpenny, and this is great pressure - AWJ will have a rumble, and then - no, Adam Jones spills it with Wales five metres out.
4 min: DROP-GOAL Jones, NZ 0-3 Wales Early call to Phillips from the old pro, and that's a super slot - deep in the pocket, crashing it inside the right hand post from 30 metres out. Wales lead!
2 min: Hold up - great charge down from Andrew Bishop on Carter's kick, and Phillips dashes onto the loose ball - ach, he opts to kick ahead rather than gather, and Israel Dagg can scramble back under his own posts to prevent the try.
1 min: Stephen Jones gets us under way, and the All Blacks will drive up the middle - Dan Carter coughs it up, and Bradley Davies will have a little rumble.
0830: Stirring. but not as stirring as this - the haka. Wales's reaction? Standing, arms by side, looking as bothered as men waiting for the 8.14am from Casnewydd to Cardiff Central.
0828: Here come the players, and we'll have the formal sing-songs. Silence at the back please.
0824: Super night for rugby - dry, cool, spicy in the stands. 57 years since Wales beat the All Blacks, and the first bellows of "Way-les, Way-les..." echo round the famous old ground.
0818: Last ever match at the House of Pain, first up - they're tearing Carisbrook down soon to build a new stadium for the World Cup, and if Dunedin doesn't shed a tear or two, it'll be a bigger shock than a 50-point Welsh win.
0810: Apart from that performance in Cape Town last night, obviously, but there shall be no more mention of those horrors. Instead, let there be bish and bosh, ruck and roll, dash and daring.
0800: A summer Saturday, front-loaded with top drawer international ding-dongs - what's not to smile about?
