Nel Metcalfe does so well to catch Iritana Hohaia's crossfield kick and call the mark.

The Black Ferns had the penalty advantage anyway though as Alex Callender was penalised for collapsing a maul.

Mererangi Paul somehow manages to offload to Kennedy Simon who barges over the tryline, but she can't get the ball down.

The officials take a look to see how that unfolded and confirm the ball was not grounded.

Wales concede the penalty as Bryonie King is penalised for playing the ball on the deck.

The Welsh defensive line is a lot quicker this half, Carys Williams-Morris seemed in between players and almost in no mans land where as now she is committing to whatever decision she is making.

Iritana Hohaia is on for Arihiana Marino-Tauhinu.

Georgia Ponsonby makes way for Luka Connor.

Amy du Plessis had three players to beat but targeting in-between the two Welsh players meant she had a weak shoulder of both and managed to get over the try line.

Brilliant play by New Zealand but they didn't need to score then, Wales had enough in the defensive line to stop that.

Bryonie King is on for Sioned Harries while Keira Bevan is replaced by Megan Davies.

Wales nab possession once again and Alex Callender looks to relieve the pressure on her side.

New Zealand swiftly come back at them though.

Alisha Butchers thinks she's stolen the ball, but she's offside, and the Black Ferns have yet another penalty which Renee Holmes kicks into touch pretty close to Wales's five-metre line.

Another outstanding cover tackle from Jasmine Joyce on the skipper Ruahei Demant.

It's what she does.

It's such a shame we can't see her attacking prowess.

Krystal Murray is on for Kate Henwood.

More defensive work from Jasmine Joyce as New Zealand looked to threaten.

Keira Bevan box kicks, but it's a poor kick, and the Black Ferns win a penalty due to Wales players being within the 10.

Renee Holmes kicks to touch.

Jasmine Joyce is so impressive, it's her want and character that comes across in her play 'it's not over until it's over' mentality.

Gwenllian Pyrs with a fine steal on the halfway line to get Wales on the attack.

Wales go through the phases and gain some decent territory.

But Lleucu George's pass is intercepted by Ruahei Demant who looks destined to cross over for the try, but Jasmine Joyce comes to the rescue for Wales.

It's a sublime piece of defending from the winger who also wins the penalty. Incredible from Joyce.

The Black Ferns get us back underway in Dunedin.

Can Wales at the very least get some points to their name in this half?

We're about to find out.

A game like this shows character now because you could easily drop your head.

It's how much they fight and don't give up.

Away from the WXV, a big debate has re-emerged regarding the Six Nations.

The tournament must remain free to air, according to a report by MPs.

The competition is currently on a free to air television deal until at least 2025, but it is not included in the group A list of sporting events which protects full live coverage.

The penalty count is really costing Wales and teams like New Zealand are going to keep building on that, they know that it is a weakness of Wales and will try to force the penalties as well.
