H2 81:30
- Victory of the arm wrestle goes the way of the All Blacks after a knock on by the Wallabies. All Blacks walk away winning 19-18 and hold onto the Bledisloe Cup for another year.
H2 81:00
- The Wallabies have it and are just 10m out. The siren has gone. Oh the tension is just crazy!
H2 79:00
- PENALTY GOAL ALL BLACKS - Carter calmly puts the All Blacks into the lead with just 1 minute to go.
H2 75:15
- The All Blacks are in total control eating up time and slowly moving forward metre by metre. Drop kick by Carter but it's an absolute shocker of a kick.
H2 72:50
- A game of aerial ping pong goes the way of the All Blacks after a kick by the Wallabies went too far and went dead. So back we go down the other end of the field for a scrum to the All Blacks.
H2 70:00
- What a difference a try makes to a game. Its tempo has gone up a few notches since the try. 10 mins to go and its going to be a cliff hanger by the looks.
H2 66:40
- PENALTY GOAL WALLABIES - Stupidly the All Blacks have given away a penalty straight after scoring. Giteau puts the Wallabies back in the lead.
H2 65:10
- CONVERSION ALL BLACKS - Carter slots the kick from out wide to put the All Blacks in the lead 16-15.
H2 63:50
- TRY ALL BLACKS - Try time! Nonu plays a part of drawing the defenders and getting the ball out wide. He then came around to receive the ball on the wing and score the try.
H2 61:00
- A big scare for the All Blacks! Rokocoko left the ball thinking it would go out but it bounced back in field for the Wallabies to run away with it. The next kick however went out.
H2 58:40
- PENALTY GOAL ALL BLACKS - Another 3points to Carter after the Wallabies were caught infringing.
H2 56:30
- Wallabies are under all sorts of pressure right now with the All Blacks hunting around the try line. The defence is ferocious and holding but for how much longer can it hold?
H2 53:10
- The Wallabies are now back to 15 men on the field after Brown did his time in the bin.
H2 51:20
- Carter gets over the line and it looks like the first try of the game but it's called back to a forward pas.
H2 49:20
- Its been a tough old night for both teams. The reserve benches are looking bleak already because of the number of replacements needed.
H2 47:00
- PENALTY GOAL WALLABIES - Back to a 9 point margin after Giteau kicks his 5th penalty. Both teams refuse to play much high risk running rugby.
H2 45:00
- PENALTY GOAL ALL BLACKS - Another penalty to the All Blacks and this time Carter makes sure of the kick. Wallabies lead 12-6.
H2 43:00
- Brown is given a yellow card for up ending a player. Carter lines up the kick for the 3 points but no luck this time, much to the crowds delight.
H2 40:20
- Carter kicks off to get the second half under way. Straight away the Wallabies are throwing the ball around.
H1 42:00
- PENALTY GOAL WALLABIES - The All Blacks had a chance to end the half but in the end Cowan gave away a penalty to stop a try. Giteau kicks to make the score 12-3 at half time.
H1 40:50
- The siren has gone yet both teams refuse to end the half. The Wallabies are gaining some momentum.
H1 36:10
- The All Blacks better be careful. They are making a large number of penalties. They won't want to push the ref too far.
H1 34:00
- PENALTY GOAL WALLABIES - Back chat to the ref let the penalty become within kicking distance. Giteau kicks yet another to make the score 9-3.
H1 31:30
- Deans has made a tactical substitution already by taking Baxter off because Woodcock has been all over him at scrum time.
H1 28:10
- The All Blacks make a mess of their attacking opportunity because the Wallabies were able to read it like a book. The Wallabies get a penalty so it's now the All Blacks turn to defend.
H1 25:20
- A bit of space and some quick passing is leading to some big pressure mounting on the Wallabies.
H1 23:30
- Swarming defence by the Wallabies is stopping the All Blacks from going far but the boot of Carter is gaining territory.
H1 21:50
- Some huge tackles are going in tonight. McAlister has already used the blood bin and now Moore is leaving the field with blood all over his face.
H1 19:45
- After a couple of minutes the scrums have sorted themselves out. Now the All Blacks are looking to play some open running rugby.
H1 15:50
- The first scrum of the game and it looks like a repeat of last time these two teams met. A lot of time spent re-setting scrums.
H1 13:20
- Its been a tight forwards game so far but when its not the ball is kicked straight away. Territory is obviously a strong game plan by both teams tonight.
H1 10:00
- PENALTY GOAL AUSTRALIA - Tight play by Australia's forwards gets a penalty that Giteau has no problem at kicking. Aus lead 6-3.
H1 06:40
- PENALTY GOAL AUSTRALIA - A silly penalty by the All Blacks gives Australia the chance to level things up. Giteau kicks and the scores are 3 all.
H1 03:45
- PENALTY GOAL NEW ZEALAND - The All Blacks got another penalty. This time it was in striking range and Carter had no problem at kicking the 3 points.
H1 00:05
- Things are very tense out there. Australia get the much anticipated game under way. Immediately a penalty to the All Blacks.
H1 00:00
- Welcome to ANZ Stadium for this Tri Nations game that doubles as a Bledisloe Cup match. Both teams are walking side by side out onto the field. We don't see this very often.
