81'79-15 Conversion - Piri Weepu , New Zealand
80'Weepu converts and that brings an end to the game.
80'77-15 Try - Victor Vito , New Zealand
79'Weepu really has impressed at ten and he's just set up Vito for simple run-in. All too easy for the All Blacks now. The Canadians are out on their feet.
78'Player substituted - Andrew Hore , New Zealand
78'Substitute on - Keven Mealamu , New Zealand
78'72-15 Conversion - Piri Weepu , New Zealand
77'Weepu with the extras once more.
77'70-15 Try - Zac Guildford , New Zealand
76'Stunning display of pace from Guildford! Absolutely stunning! The All Blacks wing collects Weepu's little chip in behind the Canadian defence and then races fully 50 metres before sliding over for his fourth try of the game. What a performance from Guldford today!

60'56-15 Try - Sonny Bill Williams , New Zealand

53'Substitute on - Scott Franklin , Canada

45'44-15 Conversion - Colin Slade , New Zealand
45'42-15 Try - Jimmy Cowan , New Zealand
44'A typically sumptuous off-load from Sonny Bill releases Smith, who races away before leaving Cowan with a simple finish.
43'37-15 Conversion - Ander Monro , Canada
43'37-13 Try - Conor Trainor , Canada
42'Desperate pass from Cowan, who's been poor today, sees the ball goes loose just inside Canadian territory. It's hacked on first by Monro and then twice more by Trainor, who does well to gather and ground the ball. Monro converts.
41'+137-8 End of first half
41'37-8 Try - Conor Trainor , Canada
40'37-8 Start of second half
35'37-3 Try - Zac Guildford , New Zealand
31'Substitute on - Sean White , Canada
31'Player substituted - DTH van der Merwe , Canada
30'32-3 Conversion - Colin Slade , New Zealand
29'30-3 Try - Mils Muliaina , New Zealand
25'25-3 Try - Zac Guildford , New Zealand
24'Canada turn the ball over at the breakdown, allowing Cowan to pounce and punt the ball forward. Trainor is on hand to deal with it but he makes a mess of trying to gather the ball and Guildford is on hand to ground it for his second try. Horrible defensive work from Trainor.
20'20-3 Try - Israel Dagg , New Zealand
19'Wonderful score from the All Blacks! They take it through a number of phases, working it one way and then the other, before Guildford produces a sublime two-handed off-loaded for Dagg, who races through to score, hurdling a desperate Canadian tackle before grounding the ball.
16'15-3 Penalty goal - Colin Slade , New Zealand
15'Monro is caught offside as he steps out to intercept a pass from Slade. The latter then converts the resulting kick to extend the All Blacks' advantage.
11'12-3 Try - Victor Vito , New Zealand
10'The All Blacks force a turnover on a Canadian feed into the scrum and Read pops the ball up for Vito, who drives his way over the whitewash. Impressive stuff from the All Blacks tight five. Slade fails to convert this time around.
8'7-3 Conversion - Colin Slade , New Zealand
7'Slade then converts from wide on the right. A terrific kick.
7'5-3 Try - Zac Guildford , New Zealand
6'Much more like it from Slade, who scythes through the Canadian defence before flinging the ball wide to Guildford. He still has plenty to do but the winger does remarkably well to keep his feet in play as he grounds the ball in the corner. Brilliant finish from Guildford and a fine break from Slade.
2'0-3 Penalty goal - Ander Monro , Canada
1'DTH van der Merwe wins a penalty after successfully charging down Slade's attempted up-and-under and Monro converts to give Canada the lead. All Blacs behind for the first time in the tournament.
1'0-0 Start of first half
