Dan Biggar has been been a defensive rock. Another bone-shaking tackle from the fly-half.

I hear you Charlie.

At scrum-half for Samoa Northampton's Kahn Fotuali'i is world class while the massive Census Johnston and ferocious Maurie Fa'asavalu give the Pacific Island team plenty of punch up front.

Samoa go into game in the midst of an on-going argument with their national union about financial issues - they will be keen to show they are worth every penny at Twickenham today.

Richard Hibbard has the ball ripped from his grasp by Conrad Smith and New Zealand have some prize turnover ball.

That is a waste though. Beauden Barrett's poor game continues as he clumps his chip long and dead.

You don't have to be big to make an impression.

Samoa might be a nation of just 100,000 people but if a tiny puffer fish can build the most perfectly geometric creation in nature, you'd better believe that Samoa can mix it with the very best that rugby has to offer.

Alessio:, external What a game this is.

Jon Simon:, external This match is turning into an absolute belter.

Proberry:, external Wales playing at their very best.

Colin Slade is thrown an absolute eyesore of a pass from Aaron Smith, bulleted at the replacement's bootlaces.

Forward it goes and Mike Phillips makes a trademark bustling run from the resulting scrum to take play up to halfway.

England have brought in George Ford at fly-half, with Owen Farrell shifting out one place to 12.

Ford will be partnered by the recalled Ben Youngs in the halves, while up front James Haskell, Ben Morgan and Rob Webber all start.

New Zealand have also made a change with winger Charles Piutau off and Colin Slade on.

"People will talk about New Zealand being sloppy. But for me it's all down to Wales and the pressure they've put New Zealand under. Their defensive work has been out of the top drawer today."

Time for a change. Rhys Webb is off to a standing ovation and Mike Phillips will bring some physicality and spikiness to the final fifteen minutes.

We'll have BBC Radio 5 live coverage for you from 19:20, but until then I'll guide you through what's happening at Twickenham.

Wales now pouring forward. James Roberts on the charge. The ball spills forward from Rhys Webb. The All Blacks counter from inside their own 22 metre.

Conrad Smith boots long. Leigh Halfpenny scampers back and survives the chase. Dan Biggar finds a good touch and we can breathe again.

Superb stuff.

Right then, if you can beat to tear yourselves away from the Wales v New Zealand thriller, England take on Samoa shortly.

After five defeats in a row, Stuart Lancaster's men could do with a convincing victory to get back on track.

Former New Zealand lock Ali Williams on BBC Two: "I think it's just a case of fatigue in defence for both sides. More and more opportunities are opening up. But it's a great game to watch."

New Zealand's Sam Whitelock gets caught on the wrong side as he trys to regain possession from a Dan Biggar hoof. Penalty to the hosts and Leigh Halfpenny steps up to split the sticks and put Wales back in front.

Half an hour away from righting half a century of history

"I don't know why the crowd are booing. There was never going to be a card there."

End-to-end stuff as Wales find themselves camped on their own line again.

Dan Biggar, who has had a great game so far, does brilliantly to haul Aaron Smith to the deck and earns penalty as the All Black scrum half tries to get to his feet while still tackled.

Then the handbags come out as Dane Coles, always quick to take offence, rushes in to defend his nine against nothing.

Coles' grab at Rhys Webb's shirt moves the penalty ten metres further from the Wales line.
