It's a fine evening here at Eden Park. There's a heavy dew which could make this quite slippy out there.

Another Try to Regan Hutchinson from another line break! It all came from excellent work from Heath Davis, winning a turnover following a smashing tackle on opposite number James McDougal. A great pass along the back line and a well timed run saw Hutchinson flatten Logan and burst through for a 2nd try. New Zealand unexpectedly on fire here so far, but surely it can't last?

Scoble nails the kick from out wide.

NZ 14 - 0 GB!!

 

12:45

Good rampaging run from Ed Ames before he's tackled by John Heads. However, with the New Zealand defense in disarry and Ames protecting the ball well, Luffman picks up the ball from the back of the ruck and darts the last 2m to the line.

Try converted by Ames

NZ 14 - 7 GB

 

18:00

Another try for the plucky New Zealanders. They set up a good maul after a take by Denton at the line out. The British defense bring the Maul down after a couple of metres, but great handling in the backline sees the Kiwis exploit the overlap and John Heads dots down for a try.

Scoble again with an excellent conversion from out wide.

What an exciting game so far!

NZ 21 - 7 GB

 

22:45

Jake Luffman with a line break from only 10m out. Alan Izett tackles and looks to have held Luffman up. We'll go the TMO here.

Ames converts

NZ 21 - 14 GB
