36 mins:
Wales 13-7 Samoa
Samoa are back on the attack once again - numbers! says Jiffy on TV. The attack comes to a halt as Biggar is smashed at a ruck by Samoa second row Teofilo Paulo, who comes flying in horizontally but makes contact with his shoulder.

8 mins:
Wales 16-15 (Halfpenny penalty)
Wales may not have much to offer at the moment, but Halfpenny's boot is keeping them in the game. Don't infringe, because he will hurt you, as he does from just inside his own half this time.
46 mins:
TRY - Wales 13-15 Samoa (Try George Pisi, missed conversion Tusi Pisi)
Dazzling try from the visitors. Lemi wins a turnover at a ruck and scrum-half Fotuali'i attacks down the blind-side, takes the contact with the covering Halfpenny on his own terms and feeds the supporting George Pisi.
The Northampton centre has plenty to do but tip-toes down the toucline, stays in by milimetres and launches a Daley-esque dive to score in spectacular fashion in the corner.
Brother Tusi cannot convert but Samoa are in front - deservedly, you have to say.

MISSED PENALTY - Wales 16-18 (Halfpenny missed penalty)
57 mins:
PENALTY - Wales 16-18 (T Pisi penalty)
Sale centre Johnny Leota comes on for the stricken Williams and makes an immediate impact with a barreling charge up the middle. Wales panic and concede a penalty...
Tusi Pisi lands it, Samoa back in front, can they hold onto their lead this time?
55 mins:
OUCH! - Wales 16-15
Paul Williams departs with blood pouring from his face after a clash of heads in a tackle with Roberts. The Wales centre is certainly putting it about today.
53 mins:
Wales 16-15
Brave tackle from Roberts on Fa'asavalu, but Wales infringe at a ruck and Pisi bangs the penalty deep into Wales territory.

68 mins:
Wales 19-21 (Tusi Pisi penalty)
Wales try to muscle their way over deep in the Samoa 22, but Faletau spills Phillips' pass, Samoa flood the break-down and Lemi clears with a booming kick.
66 mins:
PENALTY - Wales 19-21 (Tusi Pisi penalty)
Gethin Jenkins slumps to the ground at a scrum, up goes the arm from the refree and over goes the penalty from Pisi.
64 mins:
Wales 19-18 Samoa (Halfpenny penalty)
Brutal stuff in Cardiff as Samoa hammer away inside the Wales 22. Leota demonstrates the Samoan sidestep as he runs directly into and over the man in front of him.
Wales defend tigerishly and Roberts smashes Tusi Pisi in the tackle, but Samoa are awarded the put-in at a scrum in front of the posts.

70 mins:
Wales 19-21 Samoa
Any thoughts of the scalpel have been abandoned in favour of the lump hammer - by both sides. It is not pretty, but it is gripping.
Both teams have thrown fresh bodies into the fray - Sam Warburton coming on for Jones for Wales - and Samoa are now well on top at the scrum. Replacement prop James Johnston is a one-man wrecking crew in that phase at the moment.

FULL-TIME - Wales 19-26 Samoa
78 mins:
Wales 19-26 Samoa
Ninety seconds for Wales. They need a converted try to score - and to be honest they've created hardly any try scoring chances all match.
Wales hurl themselves forward, but it's like waves lapping against a cliff. Samoa dominate the ruck, win the penalty, this is all over.
77 mins:
TRY - Wales 19-26 Samoa (Leota try, T Pisi missed conversion)
Not now they haven't. Lemi chips ahead, Halfpenny looks like winning the chase but can't touch down as the ball breaks away from him and Leota follows up to score with a flourish.

Do any of your sports-casters speak/write english?

And we go down to another bogey side, (but they are the best in the world, so we're not toooooooo upset.)
Wales 10-33 New Zealand
WALES (0) 10
Try: S Williams, Cuthbert
NEW ZEALAND (23) 33
Try: Messam, Woodcock, Romano
Con: Cruden 3
Pens: Cruden 4
New Zealand's 59-year stranglehold over Wales stretched to a 25th successive victory as the world champions crushed the Grand Slam holders in Cardiff.
The All Blacks stretched their own unbeaten run to 20 Tests and condemned their hosts to a sixth straight defeat in ruthless fashion.
Aaron Cruden landed three penalties and converted tries by Liam Messam and Tony Woodcock to give New Zealand a 23-0 half-time lead.
Cruden's fourth penalty and a Luke Romano try made it 33-0 before Wales salvaged some pride with tries from Scott Williams and Alex Cuthbert.
The Six Nations champions belatedly shook off the torpor of their last two performances against Argentina and Samoa, with several players showing signs of rediscovering their true selves in a far spikier second-half effort.
They will now be desperate to salvage a victory from their final Test of the autumn series against Australia next Saturday, while the All Blacks march on to Twickenham looking to complete another clean sweep on their European travels.

Could be worse - could be England..... [spit]why (and I ask why?) i.e. why? did they so stupidly kick a penalty at 78 minutes when the entire rest of the English-supporting world knew that losing by one point does not a victory make? [/spit]
Sometimes I hate being in South Africa because whenever the good guys clash with Proteas or Boks I seem to be sitting surrounded by Afrikaners. If England ever played Bafana though, I can guarantee (a) a win and (b) I'd be sitting alone
