All Blacks continue winning streak – New Zealand 29-10 Wales

New Zealand stretched their winning run over Wales to 23 games in 57 years with a hard-fought error strewn win in the second Test at Waikato Stadium, Hamilton.

Wales trailed at the break with the All Blacks Cory Jane scoring a try on 26 minutes whilst Dan Carter converted and potted a penalty to a penalty to Leigh Halfpenny, 13-3.

Wales competed better this time out, but New Zealand helped them with loads of handling errors coughing up the ball in contact. The game never looked in doubt and Dan Carter potted several chances at goal as the Blacks stretched out to 22-3. Wales thought they would end the game on a high as following a good patient build-up

scored and Stephen Jones converted to close to 22-10. However the All Blacks came straight back and Aaron Cruden with a cheeky chip ahead scored his first International try to give us the final score of:

New Zealand 29-10 Wales
