All Blacks penalty on halfway… sealing off.
Greyling off injured for Namibia… he was very solid at the back
Try Sevu Reece, All Blacks…
The flood gates are open…
Simple try… the replacement Namibia wing (in place of Greyling) was simply not in position on defence…
All Blacks 45 / 9 Namibia
Try All Blacks, Sam Whitelock at the base of the post.
All Blacks 52 / 9 Namibia
19 Minutes to go in the match…
All the All Blacks subs on…
Namibia penalty, playing the man in the lineout…
14 Minutes to go..
The crowd behind Namibia’s efforts… applauding their play…
Try Ben Smith, All Blacks.
All Blacks 59 / 9 Namibia
I’d like Namibia to at least get a try… they have deserved it in the match…
15 Phases by Namibia…
Namibia penalty…
Pop it into the corner, fellas… go for the try!
TMO
Arm on the head again… should be another Card.
Yes, a YELLOW CARD to No 17, Ofa Tu’ungafasi!
All Blacks defence rock solid…
Try Jordie Barrett, All Blacks
All Blacks 66 / 9 Namibia
One last little push… less than 3 minutes to go…
Try Perenara?
TMO
I think he was out 1st…
Pass might have been forward…
The try is given…
All Blacks 71 / 9 Namibia
One last kick-off… gong sounds.
Game over…
All Blacks win by 62 points…
I expected them to put over 100 past Namibia.
Namibia played well, considering…
After half an hour was gone, they were just 1 point behind. All Blacks opened the taps properly in the 2nd half though.

Would you be happy if you were Steve Hansen?
I suppose you would be OK with the result… but the 2 YELLOW CARDS might be costly if there are citings…
11 Tries to none…
But this game showed ONE very important thing, and that is that you HAVE TO play possession rugby against the All Blacks!
Without the ball the All Blacks cannot score, their dangerous outside backs cannot run at you and create chaos… and against them you can get over the advantage line… simple as that.
Who has the players that could play THAT possession game against the All Blacks?
Only possibly England, Wales, the Springboks and Ireland…
