New Zealand 3-3 Australiapublished at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2015
While the scoreboard informs us that the two teams are level, the territory and possession statistics paint a different picture. As our snazzy graphic below shows, the All Blacks are enjoying more of the ball and the match is being played predominantly in the Australia half.

Slaps on the back for Sio from his team-mates but the ball had left Carter's hands a moment before his tackle landed.
Is he in trouble? Ref Owens decides that it was late, but only a little late and awards a penalty, keeping his cards dry for now.

Michael Hooper throws his hair back out of his eyes like the Ultimate Warrior.
The Aussie flanker has just pulled off a superb piece of breakdown wrestling, securing a turnover as the All Blacks tap and go from a penalty close to the Aussie line and get isolated.
Pressure relieved on the Wallabies.

Contentious call this from Nigel Owen.
He rules that Stephen Moore trips All Black scrum-half Aaron Smith at the back of the ruck. It looks like Smith might have run into Moore's prone legs.
The All Blacks kick into the corner for another prime piece of real estate.

That looks like his race run in this match. He limps off and Dean Mumm is on in his place.

Image source, AFPPenalty Australia! First scrum of the game and it is a conclusive win for the green and gold as Scott Sio trumps Owen Franks.
It is pretty much bang in front. Should be meat and drink for Bernard Foley.

Argh! Painful for All Black full-back Ben Smith who gets a right blighter of a bounce as he fields a kick on his own 22m and knocks on.
Australia get a staging post deep inside All Black territory.

A probing kick into the backfield by Ben Smith. Bernard Foley gets back to tidy up, but - trapped tight to the touchline - he has no angle to work with.
Foley punts upfield, but that is a net gain of territory for the All Blacks.
The favourites have made a strong start.

So the All Blacks have kicked the scoreboard into life - their slender lead deserved after a lightning-quick start.

A turnover on halfway for New Zealand as an All Black forward is allowed plenty of time to wrestle with the tackled man.
Ref Nigel Owens is allowing a contest at the breakdown.
