Interesting. One of the commentators just said that NZ can afford to lose this game and only need to get one point to go through to the semi finals. Aussie must win.
Penalty goal Plummer: 20 - 15 NZ
Akauola-Laula back on; Tucker off.
There's not much between both squads. It looks like the quality of the bench of both teams may decide this game.
Penalty goal to Australia: 20 - 18 NZ.
Mexican wave going through the stadium. Great atmosphere.
Wow, we won a scrum!
Yusss, try Spowart!! Only just now discover he's playing in the 14 jersey. What happened to Sullivan?
27 - 18 NZ after 64 minutes.
Tucker replaces Akauola-Laula; Numia comes on for Cobb.
Riedlinger-Kapa replaced by Sotutu; glad they kept Flanders on (although moving him to blindside).
The lack of commitment in the rucks is a worry. How many balls did the NZ U20 lost there ?
Trask is classy.
Aussies making lots of mistakes now. Getting tired?
Uluilakepa replaces Mafileo.
Looked like a knock-on from the Aussies?
It looks like Roe is nog coming on this game. He could have made a difference. Renton is going well, but Roe is better.
Christie to the bin. Not his first, but why was it this time?
Another turnover because of another Aussie counter ruck. Where are the NZ forwards ?
We can say goodbye to that much needed bonus point now.
@cgrant It looks intentional. Game plan?
Full time: New Zealand 27 - 18 Australia
Tough game, but deserved win.
Flanders the clear stand-out in this game, and Trask and Koroi in the backs. Clarke not bad either.
@stargazer and Plummer who scored a try and kicked goals.
