Carter is slaying!

Yesss Timmy

Both sides looked far better in all aspects of the match in the second half. After Samoa began to run the ball back at New Zealand they looked a far more threatening side, however New Zealand always had enough gas in the tank to keep their noses ahead.

Samoa put in a fantastic effort in the final movement as they get within 10m of the tryline before New Zealand turned the ball over at the ruck and kicked it out to end a very entertaining match.

Hika Elliot makes a great steal at the ruck but then throws a forward pass as he attempts to start a counter attack. Samoa have a scrum for the final movement of the match.

New Zealand turn the ball over and Piutau slices the Samoan defence. He links up with Crotty on a switch but some fantastic scramble defence holds the All Blacks out. Eventually Samoa win a penalty for obstruction and set up a lineout near halfway.

Samoa are attacking near halfway, they will need to get some points on the board very soon if they are to have any hope in stealing a late win.

Carter slots the kick to extend New Zealand's lead to 9 points with less than 5 minutes remaining.
