What a debut try.What a way to start off the All Blacks career.Well done Franky Halai.
It's an irish page
Ref disallows the try and that brings an end to this friendly. A dominant performance from the All Blacks which sees them score 4 tries in both half's and run out 54-6 winners. Japan should be proud of themselves but indiscipline was a main factor as why so many tries were conceded. A good warm up for New Zealand as they now travel to France next week in which should be a highly entertaining game. Thanks for following on Ultimate Rugby. See you soon!
Gone to the TMO as Kenki Fukuoka thinks he's scored. The ball was spun out wide to Fukuoka and he gets the ball down but I think Sam Cane did enough to put him into touch.
Another penalty for offside and Sam Cane is sent to the bin for intentionally holding on in the ruck.
Hooters gone and Japan have a penalty advantage.
The captain is back!!!!!!!
Still pushing they come within inches of the line. Japan really want a score here.
Japan pushing hard and come within 5 metres of the All Black line but it comes to nothing.
Try All Blacks. Charles Piutau goes over for his 2nd try of the game after Francis Saili chipped the ball over the top and Piutau won the chase. 8 tries, cruising at the moment. Conversion is good from Barrett and New Zealand now lead 54-6.
