The All Blacks try to get behind the Japanese defence with a chip over the top but the ball goes dead. Still 0-0 here.

Good opening 5 minutes from the hosts. Keeping it simple at the set piece and doing their job well so far. Not much attacking yet.

The Ha'ka is done by New Zealand, kick off moments away.

Hello and welcome to coverage of this Friendly match which sees Japan take on New Zealand. A big day for Japan who welcome the world champions and current world number 1 ranked team New Zealand to town. New Zealand have name a lot of inexperienced players but include the likes of Dan Carter and Richie McCaw. Obviously New Zealand are favourites but who knows what Japan could turn up with today. Kick off is 10 minutes away so stay with us for live updates throughout.
