80'
FULL TIME. New Zealand 47-9 Tonga. All Blacks were just too good in the end, despite displays of defiance from Tonga. Some sublime play in the second half but far too many errors in the first. Thanks for your company this evening.
77'
A miss from Carter, the first of the evening.
76'
TRY! New Zealand 47-9 Tonga: Ah, well, there's the proper conclusion to the script. Momentous day for Nonu. Good run from Milner-Skudder and Nonu capitalised on the space left.

72'
CONVERSION! New Zealand 42-9 Tonga: Dan Carter has obviously changed his boots since last game.
70'
TRY! New Zealand 40-9 Tonga: There are three men trying to hold Sam Cane back,but none of them succeed - head down and teeth gritted.
69'
Ngauamo is off, tipping Carter over at high velocity.

66'
CONVERSION! New Zealand 35-9 Tonga: Really easy for Carter.
66'
TRY! New Zealand 33-9 Tonga: He literally JUST got here. It's Sonny Bill Williams, making everything look so casual, a smart inside pass from Smith (A) and an easy little rip under the posts.

59'
CONVERSION! New Zealand 28-9 Tonga: And Dan Carter hasn't put a boot wrong tonight.
58'
TRY! New Zealand 26-9 Tonga: Milner-Skudder nips in underneath everyone to just tap the ball down.
57'
PENALTY! New Zealand 21-9 Tonga: Tonga are plodding along, though. Their task is obviously more difficult against the full 15 of the All Blacks side but that's three more points they deserve, after Cane was penalised.

54'
CONVERSION! New Zealand 21-6 Tonga: Too much space for Milner-Skudder for that try, and Carter adds insult to injury.
53'
TRY! New Zealand 19-6 Tonga: Milner-Skudder gets the final touch as New Zealand regroup now they're back up to their full complement.
