80		Full-time and the Wallabies outplay the All Blacks by fifteen points in Sydney! Robbie Deans defeats his countrymen and the golds claim top spot in the Tri-Nations with two from two! Thanks for joining us!
	79		The All Blacks are defending until the end as Australia enjoy their moment with a penalty coming! Referee Joubert blows for it and Barnes is told to have a shot from wide out...no good and NZ look to go from their own whitewash as the hooter sounds!
	78		New Zealand have to keep it in hand now and it looks to have cost them as the ball comes back to Burgess from yet another turnover breakdown! And that will have Deans grinning as Barnes uses his head by sliding one to the NZ corner!
	75		HORWILL TRY CONVERTED BY GITEAU! 34-19! Wallaby scrum centre-field and 25-out with plenty of options on offer! They make the hard yards for now with Palu leading the charge for now...but it's his lock who claims what should be the match-winning score by crashing over!
	70		Not bad for a weak foot from the Force man as McCaw looks on with head in hands! And he may be feeling worse soon as Giteau chips into space ten out...well claimed by the NZ covering men but can they cut out those mistakes to get downfield!?
	67		GITEAU DROP-GOAL! 27-19! Burgess is well-and-truly in the thick of it at the moment as he feels the full force of Afoa! Unsurprisingly, the ball is spilled but possession is back in Aus hands towards pocket man Giteau...no mistake for the eight-point cushion!
	64		Burgess spins the ball on his finger before putting in, but the All Blacks demolish that scrum and earn the turnover of possession - what a statement! However, the nine shows his grit in quick-time by forcing Lauaki to spill...here come the Wallabies 30-out!
	62		There seems to be a chat between the fourth official and the referee here regarding Ellis' return...a post-game debate for sure! Australian free-kick on halfway with Sharpe running hard...but they go off their feet and Sivivatu looks to catch them cold. Immediate mistake from the wing though sees him fumble in contact as Sharpe makes way for Vickerman at lock. Conrad Smith is on for Nonu also...
	59		More bad news for the All Blacks sees Cowan hobble from the action with Ellis back on (is that allowed?). And he makes an immediate impact spotting there's no one at home...the chip comes with Sivivatu chasing hard and showing good footballing skills...surely he's been tackle off-the-ball? Not in the referee's opinion as Tuqiri dots down behind his try-line.
	57		ELSOM TRY CONVERTED BY GITEAU! 24-19! And so it proves as Ashley-Cooper continues his solid performance as he slices through before taking the hit. The ball is back with Rocky...he slips the final man and he's over!
	55		Not this time for the Kiwis as the turnover comes and Tuqiri is found with ground free to roam! He chips over Muliaina and it's a foot race between the wing and Cowan...the nine dives on the loose ball bravely and kicks...but Aus come again and sense this is their time!
	53		Giteau uses the power of Tuqiri from first-phase but the ball is eventually lost forward with Carter sending one long. Here goes the impressive Muliaina from a quick-tap as NZ begin their new patient approach again.
	50		More early changes made by Henry as he realises the first-half's efforts! On comes Lauaki and Mealumu for Braid and Hore to join Cowan...NZ defensive line-out 20 out...not straight from the new man!
	48		And that's the scrum-half's last act as Cowan emerges while the Wallabies look to hit back! The hosts have a brace of free-kicks as the pressure begins to mount on the AB line...until one goes the visitors' way right under their posts! Solid effort from the NZ forwards.
	46		ELLIS TRY CONVERTED BY CARTER! 17-19! Ellis isn't happy as he knocks-on, and so he should be as Cross seemed to leave a stray boot in that ruck. However, it doesn't phase the All Blacks as they turn it over and here's the class of Carter brushing off Giteau! He's brought down but offloads to Nonu before Ellis crosses for a vital score!
	42		Carter gets the second half underway with the Wallabies ahead by five in a classic. NZ possession with Kahui felled just inside his own half as they work through the phases for now...patient stuff!
	40		That's the end of the first-half action and what a sensational forty minutes in Sydney! There are some tired men out there and it's no surprise as four tries have been scored in a largely attacking contest! Join us for more in ten!
	38		HORE TRY CONVERTED BY CARTER! 17-12! However much the All Blacks could feel down, they are still finding chinks in this Wallaby defence when they go through their phases! Ellis spins it out to the busy Woodcock but could Smith be on this one too...no as NZ recycle with Hore running hard from depth...score!
	32		HYNES TRY CONVERTED BY GITEAU! 17-5! What a play from Australia as they pack the open-side from the scrum 40-out. Giteau found a half-gap before being hauled down by Carter, but the damage was done as a kick through at pace from Ashley-Cooper eventually finds the wing! The gap is now twelve...
	28		The pace seems to have dropped quite a bit for now as both plan their next form of attacks. The tension remains though for sure with spaces all over the field following the frantic opening half-hour!
	25		MULIAINA TRY CONVERSION MISSED! 10-5! The Wallabies are certainly winning the battle at the breakdown from Sharpe's smash on Kaino! And the penalty comes for Aus, which Giteau sends deep downfield before NZ steal possession in their own 22. It could be on for the All Blacks though with Muliaina running well down the right wing before the recylced ball finds his legs pumping again over the whitewash!
	20		Excellent work from Smith at the breakdown once again to force the free-kick 45-out. But his work could all be in vein as Barnes' chip is charged down by Carter...can he collect the ball and stroll over...no, as he fumbles to the crowd's cheers! Australia come again on halfway...
	17		NZ are camped on the opposition line and have a full penalty coming...but Ellis turns down the three to spin it out...and it's cost them! The turnover comes immediately as Giteau clears with a mammoth kick downfield. Surely this pace can't continue as Thorn returns?
	14		NZ may have a chance to respond in a frantic tempo in Sydney! But that's great tackling from Ashley-Cooper to save his side on two occasions. There's some serious points in this game for sure!
	11		CROSS TRY CONVERTED BY GITEAU! 10-0! Australia are flying here as Tuqiri slips three after claiming a poor clearance! The ball is recycled for Giteau and he has the simple task of gifting the centre another Aus score!
	9		Elsom claims the restart before NZ finally have some possession on halfway! However, the hosts force the turnover and look to pressure Muliaina chasing back...great work from the full-back to tidy!
	7		GITEAU PENALTY! 3-0! Cross takes it over the advantage line and another free-kick comes 40-out with Palu charging on well! The All Blacks are holding on here as Giteau and co. push them to their defensive limits. Bad news for Thorn though as he takes the ten high and is sent to the sin-bin!
	4		Scrum to the Wallabies and they go blind through Palu and now Burgess in space! He chips over, a la Januarie, and could be in here until a knock-on forced by Kaino saves the All Blacks!
	2		The anthems and haka up the atmosphere, if needed at all, before Barnes gets things underway! Australia start the stronger with territory theirs as they defend for now...
	0		Welcome to Sydney for 2008’s Bledisloe Cup opener! The majority of the pre-match talk has centred on the coaches but one feels the loss of respective captains could become the deciding factor. Who will cope better without their leader in what promises to be a nail-biting contest 'til the end? There are also mouth-watering match-ups all over the field with Carter vs Giteau, Barnes vs Nonu and Sharpe vs Williams just three of many interesting subplots! So sit back and enjoy!
