Wales vs New Zealand LIVE: Result and reaction from autumn international fixture today

Fumbled! Blackadder is asked to go forth off the top of the lineout in midfield but is lined up by Taine Basham, who thumps him with questionable legality, an apparently tucked shoulder not spotted by the officials and the knock-on he forced thus the sole decision made. Wales fans may argue one has finally gone their way. A good attacking chance this inside the New Zealand 22.

There’s Priestland’s first touch, a typically savvy little nudge down the left to force New Zealand to throw a lineout inside their own 22.

Nepo Laulala and Ethan Blackadder are making their way back on, though - the All Blacks survive the sin-binning for the concession of a net zero points.

It is a proper hammer of a boot that the youngest Barrett has, and he’s right on the top of the nail from 40 metres or so on the left.

Wales take that as the cue to introduce Rhys Priestland - Gareth Anscombe’s evening is over as another returning fly-half makes his entrance.

Two more kicks are swapped but Gareth Anscombe is pinged for holding on as he is swept to sea by a black wave that hits him as he comes to earth. Holding on, Jordie Barrett to go for goal...

Air Jordan! Wales launch the free kick for the heavens but Will Jordan takes it magnificently, propelling himself on with a crisp landing and scything between chasing Welsh bodies.

Five yards shy of the Welsh 22 he is finally hauled down but Beauden Barrett opts for a wasteful up-and-under of his own, comfortably claimed in the Welsh backfield, and marked.

Twice we reset with Wyn Jones gesticulating to one of the assistant referees his distaste for the manner in which Lomax is setting up for the engage.

And that gesticulating comes to fruition! At our third attempt Mathieu Raynal loses patience and free kicks the replacement tight head.

Oh no! Gareth Anscombe stays down after he clears after the scrum, landing awkwardly, but he is reasonably swiftly back on his feet as New Zealand prepare to set a scrum of their own after an unplayable ruck.

Tyrel Lomax is on with Nepo Laulala obviously unable to scrummage from the sidelines - Ethan Blackadder is more eagerly gazing on than his sin-binned teammate.

Will Jordan would make an excellent burglar. He’s scarily good at making himself unseen, nearly nicking the kick-off out of waiting Welsh hands as he times his leap perfectly but just knocking on in flight. Wales to set a scrum on their own 22.

The second half is underway

The players have re-emerged. Also of concern for Wales will be those first-half injuries to an already depleted squad. The loss of Ross Moriarty leaves Wales down another back-rower, so often an area of remarkable strength, and Seb Davies will have to go 40 minutes away from his normal second row home.

Beauden Barrett has a chinwag with former Hurricanes teammate Ardie Savea as he prepares to kick-off. Nepo Laulala has re-taken his seat in the sin bin, folding his arms in frustration as he wraps himself further within a big coat. Here we go!
