The Wallabies then enjoyed a good deal of territory but were unable to turn it into points until lock Arnold reached over the line with a second effort in the 29th minute.

All Blacks skipper Kieran Read was penalised for a shove just after the score but Hodge was unable to convert the penalty attempt from the halfway line to even up the scores.

New Zealand extended their advantage six minutes before the break when Perenara charged down Hodge's clearance kick and re-gathered to give the All Blacks a 15-7 lead at halftime.
