Martyn Williams
Former Wales captain on BBC One"Wales have set their plays up really well and sometimes when you're on the front foot, you want to score as quickly as possible.
"We've talked about how clinical Australia have been, Wales have not.
"They've gone for the Hollywood pass on a couple of occasions, when the simple ball has been on."

Charles Nurick:, external Wales and Australia have scored more tries in one half then Scotland probably will all series. Hope I'm wrong
Thomas Lewis:, external Great first half, got to believe if the errors are controlled Wales have a chance of taking this! #WALvAUS
Camilla Louise Bush:, external Nails almost non-existent and on the edge of my seat

Matt Dawson
Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 live"The referees are just not scared of Richie McCaw anymore. He won the ball fair and square but the referees are not intimidated by him. They don't care he is this captain and legend. It is affecting the way New Zealand play."

Brad Barritt chases up a long kick and snares Julian Savea as the winger wastes some time looking for the right route to run the ball back. Turnover ball. Owen Farrell darts, Danny Care wriggles and Richie McCaw drops down to his knees as he clamps over the top.
Penalty to England.

There she blows. Aaron Cruden clips it over and we are back at level pegging.

Sonny Bill Wiliams on the crash ball draws England defenders like a magnet. Owen Farrell and Kyle Eastmond are the tag-team that get the job of bringing the big man down up on the England 22 metre line. They succeed, but Farrell has not rolled away.
It's a gimme of a penalty.

Former Wales fly-half on BBC One"It's been a great Test match.
"Lots of errors, but when the ball has gone wide, it's been great entertainment."

Matt Dawson
Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 live
Image source, Getty Images"England are not used to this pace, they haven't played for two weeks, whereas New Zealand have the game against USA behind them. England have given everything in the opening period from the last scrum, you could see forwards were in the wrong position and there was no room on the short side."
HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014
This has had pretty much everything - spills, thrills and all manner of spectacular tries.
If Wales can stop making mistakes they really are well in this, but if they keep gifting the ball to an Australia team possessing attacking talents such as Israel Folau and Tevita Kuridrani, you feel the Wallabies will make it it 10 wins in a row.

Keith Wood
Former Ireland hooker on BBC One"Great leadership from Wales captain Sam Warburton.
"He wasn't waiting for anyone else and lead the charge for the line there."
MISSED DROP-GOALpublished at 15:15 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014
Owen Farrell drops back into the pocket and it is a cosy little one to settle into - 35 metres out and bang central. He never really gets hold of his drop-goal attempt though and a wafty one lands wide.

England's scrum is sent all squiffy by a big Black shove. That looked like New Zealand's ball, but Nigel Owens rules that Owen Franks has brought the whole thing crashing down on his side.
A bit of a let-off from my view.
Try (Wyn Jones, con Bigar)published at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2014
Image source, PAAfter all this running about, how nice to see a collapsed scrum. At least I imagine that's what the forwards are thinking as Dan Biggar kicks to touch inside the Australia 22.
One last chance for the hosts here and out comes the sledgehammer, and over batters Alun Wyn Jones. Just.

Louis Strong:, external Just as things were going well...as clinical as you can get with that try. A prime example proving NZ are the no1 team
Ally Scott:, external New Zealand are just so clinical, that's the difference
