Match Commentary

82'41-13 End of half
82'41-13 End of half
81'+141-13 End of second half
80'That's full-time in Auckland as Nic White throws a pass into touch. It's another terrible night for the Wallabies in Auckland; the All Blacks cruising to a 41-13 victory, which was largely in the books the moment Quade Cooper was sin -binned.
79'Penalty All Blacks. David Pocock is penalised at the breakdown and TJ Perenara immediately opts for the quick tap. The hosts can't finish with a bang though, the play breaking down through a knock-on.
78'41-13 Conversion - Nic White , Australia
77'Nic White adds the extras - making the score 41-13.
77'41-11 Try - Israel Folau , Australia
76'Try time Wallabies! Australia are in through Israel Folau, the full-back intercepting a kick pass from TJ Perenara and sprinting 50 metres to score untouched. It's far too little, far too late for the Wallabies but it does at least make the scoreline look a little better.
74'All Blacks winger Julian Savea goes on a run downfield before he is brought down by Matt Giteau in a good tackle. The hosts quickly move the ball to the other side of the field before Ben Smith kicks back in-field; Nic White getting back to clean up for the Wallabies.
72'Turnover All Blacks. Some great work at the maul from the hosts there as they immediately disrupt the Wallabies drive and win the turnover for a collapsed maul. Nothing has gone right for the Australians tonight.
71'Penalty are again awarded a penalty and this time Owens warns stand-in captain Kieran Read about the repeated infringements.
70'Penalty Wallabies. The All Blacks bring the rolling maul down illegally and are rightfully penalised. The Wallabies will look to use the same ploy again.
69'Penalty Wallabies. The visitors aren't really asking any questions of the All Blacks' defence but they do get a penalty for a breakdown infringement. Nic White kicks for the line; let's see if the Wallabies can manage a simple lineout take.
68'Player substituted - Richie McCaw , New Zealand
68'Substitute on - Jerome Kaino , New Zealand
68'Player substituted - Conrad Smith , New Zealand
68'Substitute on - Malakai Fekitoa , New Zealand
67'Richie McCaw leaves the field to a standing ovation from the Eden Park crowd. He hasn't officially announced his retirement but the belief is this was his final Test on NZ soil. An amazing reception for one of the all-time greats there.
67'Player substituted - Sekope Kepu , Australia
67'Substitute on - Greg Holmes , Australia
67'Player substituted - Stephen Moore , Australia
67'Substitute on - Tatafu Polota-Nau , Australia
67'41-6 Conversion - Dan Carter , New Zealand
66'Penalty Wallabies. Nigel Owens pings an All Blacks forward for crawling on his hands and knees; the same call that went against Matt Giteau earlier. The Wallabies kick for touch and will try and do something on attack for the first timee this half.
66'Player substituted - Aaron Smith , New Zealand
66'Substitute on - TJ Perenara , New Zealand
66'Substitute on - Keven Mealamu , New Zealand
66'Player substituted - Dane Coles , New Zealand
65'Dan Carter adds the extras; the scoreboard is getting increasingly ugly for the Wallabies now. The All Blacks lead 41-6.
65'39-6 Try - Ma'a Nonu , New Zealand
64'Ma'a Nonu is over for the All Blacks, the centre grabbing his second of the night as he picks up an inside pass from Dan Carter and powers through the feeble tackle attempt of Nic White. That was just far too easy from the All Blacks.
64'Player substituted - Victor Vito , New Zealand
64'Substitute on - Sam Cane , New Zealand
63'Try time All Blacks!
63'Substitute on - Sekope Kepu , Australia
63'Player substituted - Greg Holmes , Australia
63'Player substituted - James Horwill , Australia
63'Substitute on - Nepo Laulala , New Zealand
63'Substitute on - Kane Douglas , Australia
63'Player substituted - Owen Franks , New Zealand
62'Kane Douglas is on for his first Test since 2013; the lock only recently returned from Leinster to be eligible for the Wallabies at the World Cup.
61'The All Blacks are hard on the attack again but Aaron Smith takes the wrong option in dropping a grubber in behind the Wallabies. It turns out okay for the hosts however, Wallabies scrum-half throwing a forward pass that gifts the All Blacks a scrum just five metres out from the line.
59'The Wallabies can't even win a simple lineout throw though as James Horwill spills a regulation take. The All Blacks quickly spread the ball wide and fly downfield through Ben Smith. The play breaks down but after checking with the TMO, Owens awards the All Blacks a penalty for an early tackle.
58'Wallabies can't win the lineout but manage to get the ball back from Kurtley Beale out wide. They then win a penalty a couple of phases later when Richie McCaw is penalised for going off his feet.
58'Player substituted - Quade Cooper , Australia
58'Substitute on - Kurtley Beale , Australia
56'Penalty Wallabies. The visitors are awarded penalty when Victor Vito is pinged for not rolling away. Wallabies will have their first attacking opportunity of the half, though they are still down to 14 men.
55'34-6 Conversion - Dan Carter , New Zealand
54'Dan Carter adds the extras to make it 34-6; and that's two tries while Cooper's been in the bin. A hugely costly error in judgement from the No.10.
54'32-6 Try - Conrad Smith , New Zealand
53'Try time All Blacks! Game over. The All Blacks are in again this time through Conrad Smith, the centre receiving a cut-out pass from Ma'a Nonu to stroll over out wide. The No.12 had only moments earlier gone on a strong run himself, and then backed up for the assist.
52'Substitute on - James Slipper , Australia
52'Player substituted - Scott Sio , Australia
52'Substitute on - Colin Slade , New Zealand
52'Player substituted - Nehe Milner-Skudder , New Zealand
52'Substitute on - Wyatt Crockett , New Zealand
52'Player substituted - Tony Woodcock , New Zealand
52'27-6 Conversion - Dan Carter , New Zealand
52'Substitute on - Greg Holmes , Australia
52'Player substituted - Sekope Kepu , Australia
51'Dan Carter adds the extras and the All Blacks are surely home now, even if there is 29 minutes to play!
51'25-6 Try - Ma'a Nonu , New Zealand
50'Try time All Blacks! Another woeful kick from the Wallabies gives Nehe Milner-Skudder possession and the winger immediately puts the ball deep back down into the Wallabies half. The All Blacks come up with the loose ball, shift it a wide through a few sets of hands before Ma'a Nonu has an easy gallop to the line.
49'Try time All Blacks!
49'Player substituted - Henry Speight , Australia
49'Substitute on - Matt Giteau , Australia
48'Yellow card - Quade Cooper , Australia
48'20-6 Conversion - Dan Carter , New Zealand
48'18-6 Penalty try
47'Cooper is sent to the sin-bin as Carter adds the extras. The All Blacks now lead 20-6 and it's going to take some comeback from the Australians if they're to end this Bledisloe drought.
46'Try time All Blacks! Nigel Owens awards the All Blacks a penalty try after Quade Cooper brings Aaron Smith down in a high tackle under the sticks. A great break from Nehe Milner-Skudder got the All Blacks in behind the Wallabies, and Owens had little option but to award the penalty try.
45'The Wallabies scrum comes under huge pressure from the All Blacks eight but they manage to secure possession. Nic White's clearing kick is charged down though; the No.9 making up for his mistake by winning a turnover at the breakdown.
43'A promising All Blacks raid comes to nothing as Julian Savea spills an inside pass. Some great lead-up work from Aaron Smith in the lead-up; the No.9 burning Stephen Moore with a great step.
41'Ben Smith drops the ball in behind the Wallabies but it's just a little too strong and rolls touch in goal. Wallabies half-back Nic White was there in cover anyway, though Julian Savea was charging in at some speed too.
41'Player substituted - Wycliff Palu , Australia
41'Substitute on - David Pocock , Australia
41'Player substituted - Kurtley Beale , Australia
41'Substitute on - Henry Speight , Australia
41'Player substituted - Will Skelton , Australia
41'Substitute on - Dean Mumm , Australia
41'+113-6 End of first half
40'Nigel Owens blows time on for the second half and Quade Cooper kicks long. The All Blacks secure the kick safely and then clear down field; the two sides exchange a further kick each before Cooper slides in and fails to catch the ball; the Wallabies No.10 doubling back to collect it and clear into touch.
40'Dan Carter takes a shot at drop goal with the final play of the half but it drifts wide. That's half-time in Auckland, James Horwill telling Fox Sports the Wallabiues "need to hold onto the ball a bit better and build pressure". It's 13-6 in favour of the All Blacks at the break.
40'13-6 Start of second half
39'Penalty All Blacks. The hosts are awarded a penalty for a Wallabies scrum infringement with Scott Sio pinged for a second time tonight. The All Blacks will have the final attacking opportunity of the half.
38'Wallabies make a half-break through Adam Ashley-Cooper but a pass back inside hits the floor and McCaw cleans up. The Wallabies do manage to get themselves a lineout, but are forced into a turnover when they can't secure the ball from a maul. That was poor from the Australians.
38'Player substituted - Henry Speight , Australia
38'Substitute on - Kurtley Beale , Australia
37'Wallabies are awarded a penalty for a ruck infringement after a nice run from Kieran Read. The hosts are having plenty of success from the high ball tonight and they again had some luck on this occasion as Matt Toomua couldn't take the pill.
35'The All Blacks try a cheeky little kick in behind the Wallabies defence but it's too strong with Nic White able to get back a force the ball dead in goal.
33'It comes up short; not the greatest strike from the veteran No.10 there.
32'Penalty All Blacks. Will Skelton is penalised for going "past the ball" when trying to effect a steal. Might have been tad tough on the lock as he was in a strong position over the pill. Nevertheless, Dan Carter will line up his third shot at penalty for the night from just inside halfway.
32'Substitute on - Michael Hooper , Australia
32'Player substituted - David Pocock , Australia
32'13-6 Penalty goal - Quade Cooper , Australia
31'It's over. Cooper splits the uprights with a fine strike, reducing the gap to seven points.
30'Conrad Smith is penalised for tackling Adam Ashley-Cooper in the air. There isn't much in it but the Wallabies winger did hit the ground reasonably hard. Smith may be a little lucky not to have seen a yellow card, but it looks the right call. Quade Cooper to line up the shot.
29'Dan Carter eventually gets round to taking the penalty and he makes no mistake for a 13-3 lead. The All Blacks are very much on top now after finding themselves under pressure early on.
29'13-3 Penalty goal - Dan Carter , New Zealand
28'The All Blacks are awarded a penalty as this time Aaron Smith gets tangled up with Sekope Kepu at the breakdown. Virtually the same call from earlier in the match. There is a bit of a scuffle in backplay to which Nigel Owens asks the TMO to investigate. It's not anything serious and Owens just has a brief chat to both captains and tells them to settle things down.
28'Substitute on - David Pocock , Australia
28'Player substituted - Michael Hooper , Australia
27'Nic White clears from the scrum but doesn't make much ground. Meanwhile, Michael Hooper has gone off for a concussion test, bringing David Pocock on.
25'The All Blacks go to the air to test Quade Cooper; sure enough he knocks on and the hosts go on the attack. They string a few phases together before a loose pass from Aaron Smith goes fowards and the Wallabies are awarded a scrum.
24'The All Blacks win yet another turnover, this time through skipper Richie McCaw, allowing the hosts to go onto the attack again. Victor Vito makes a nice run inside the Wallabies' 22 before the play breaks down, and Matt Toomua clears for the Wallabies.
24'10-3 Conversion - Dan Carter , New Zealand
23'Dan Carter adds the extras for a 10-3 lead.
22'8-3 Try - Dane Coles , New Zealand
21'
20'Try time All Blacks! Dane Coles finishes off a wonderful counter attack from the All Blacks; Dan Carter in particular doing some great work to free up the hooker for a 40-metre run to the tryline. Shows just how lethal the All Blacks can be from turnover ball.
19'A promising attacking raid from the Wallabies amounts to nothing as Henry Speight is hit in a big tackle. They do get the throw to the lineout though with the All Blacks ruled to have taken the ball into touch.
18'3-3 Penalty goal - Dan Carter , New Zealand
17'It's over. We're all locked up at 3-3 with Carter's successful penalty; a kick that takes him past 700 Test points on New Zealand soil.
15'Penalty All Blacks. The Wallabies give away their second of the night, this time for holding on at the breakdown. Dan Carter will line up the shot from about 41 metres out, 10 metres in from touch.
14'Dan Carter tries to cross-kick but it's an easy take for Israel Folau just inside the touch-line. The Wallabies full-back calls for the mark before clearing down field.
13'Penalty All Blacks. Scott Sio is pinged at the scrum for "pulling down". The packs have a few words with each other before Dan Carter finds touch just outside the Wallabies' 22. A great attacking opportunity coming up for the hosts here as hooker Dane Coles finds Kieran Read.
11'Penalty Australia. Richie McCaw is pinged for a breakdown infringement allowing the Wallabies to kick into the All Blacks half. They win the lineout at the back but a loose pass hits the floor and Will Skelton knocks on. A wasted opportunity there from the Australians.
9'The two sides engage in a bit of kick-tennis with Adam Ashley-Cooper fumbling around inside his own 22; the sequence eventually finishes with Dan Carter kick going into the Wallabies in-goal for an easy force for Israel Folau.
8'0-3 Penalty goal - Quade Cooper , Australia
7'It's over. The Wallabies lead 3-0. Interesting to see referee Nigel Owens just tell Wallabies skipper Stephen Moore he doesn't want players milking penalties in reference to White's pass into Woodcock.
6'Penalty Australia. Nic White passes the ball straight into Tony Woodcock who was lying on the Wallabies' side of the ruck. Quade Cooper will line up the shot from just outside the 22, 15 metres in from touch.
5'The Wallabies look to go wide as Quade Cooper finds Israel Folau on the burst. The recycle the ball and Cooper gets another touch before throwing a pass to nobody but the linesman. The Wallabies No.10 is seeing plenty of pill early on.
3'They manage to win their second lineout safely and Quade Cooper opts for the chip kick. The bounce is kind for the Wallabies but Matt Toomua just misses; the All Blacks regather and clear.
2'Nic White kicks deep into New Zealand territory for the penalty, but the Wallabies fail to win the lineout and the All Blacks clear. Poor first lineout from the Wallabies there, following on from the problems of last week.
1'A couple of changes for the Wallabies ahead of the second-half with Dean Mumm and David Pocock on.
1'Nigel Owens blows time on and Dan Carter kicks short. All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick gets a hand to the ball but knocks on. The Wallabies scrum powers over the top of the All Blacks and wins a penalty.
1' Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the deciding Bledisloe Cup Test between the All Blacks and Wallabies. It's been a massive week of build-up on both sides of the Tasman as Australia look to regain the Cup for the first time since 2002. But they haven't won at Eden Park since 1986 while the All Blacks are unbeaten at the ground since 1994! The visitors have it all to do. Players are on the field for the anthems, and then the haka.
