Fulltime: The All Blacks have cruised in the final Test. Video highlights up soon...
80+ min: TRY ALL BLACKS! Dagg puts the icing on the cake from a Welsh turnover. The visitors are pressing after the hooter for a try, but Cane wins the turnover, and Dagg goes the distance to score. 46-6.
78 min: We're staggering towards fulltime as things have slowed right down and a couple of handling errors have sneaked in. Can the All Blacks managed one more try?
75 min: Dagg's put in a real shift tonight, running for 116m and beating five tacklers from fullback. Ben Smith's racked up 66m, while Barrett's got 61m. Wales' highest meters total comes from Liam Williams, who only has 25m. Dominating stuff from the All Blacks backs.
73 min: The benches have both been emptied and the All Blacks will finish up with a Ben Smith-Naholo midfield combination. Who predicted we'd see that at the start of the series?
68 min: CHANCE! Naholo wins the turnover and the All Blacks are quick to counter! A draw and pass from Sopoaga and Dagg is away down the wing with just Liam Williams to beat. Dagg's in the mood, so he eyes him up and has a go. He steps, but Williams reacts and does enough to get him putting a foot over the line. This guy has been the Welsh saviour over the course of this series.

65 min: It's been a tough night for the All Blacks captain. He hasn't done anything wrong, but boy has he been in the wars. He's down receiving some treatment, but he'll solider on.
62 min: TRY ALL BLACKS! Coles gets himself a try after some quick hands from Cane puts him through the gap. 39-6 and the All Blacks have 50 in their sights.
57 min: TRY ALL BLACKS! Barrett is oh so smooth as he slips the tackle of Biggar and only has eyes for the line. The Welsh are looking stuffed. All that talk about fading after 60 minutes better not happen again or the score could really blow out. Barrett converts and it's 32-6.
55 min: Another big cheer goes up as Liam Squire and Lima Sopoaga enter the game. The All Blacks do their best impression of shuffling a pack of cards as Barrett goes to fullback, Dagg goes to the wing, Ben Smith goes to No.12 and Ryan Crotty goes off. How versatile are this lot? Stick Coles on the wing and he'll probably still go alright.
52 min: Welcome to the big time, Ofa Tu'ngafasi! The Blues prop becomes All Black number 1150 as he comes on for his debut.
51 min: Moala is going to be forced from the game with what looks like a forearm injury. A big cheer goes up as Waisake Naholo comes on, and it looks like he'll slot into midfield in a straight swap. Cue the Seven Nations Army song! The crowd are cracking right into a "Wai-sa-ke Na-holo" chant.
49 min: The All Blacks have their first lineout of the game. It became obvious that kicking wasn't going to be part of Wales' plan, but that's a surprise.
46 min: YELLOW CARD! Sam Cane is gone after committing too many penalties. They were adding up. Wait, can you hear that? It's the calls from Wellingtonians saying Ardie Savea should be the All Blakcs No.7...

44 min: TRY ALL BLACKS! The All Blacks have a 5m scrum...it's not going anywhere so Smith digs it out and finds Barrett, who runs the channel, keeps the legs churning, and finds his way over! Ben Smith gave him a wee shut like a train to help him on his way and it's as simple as that for the All Blacks. Lead has blown out to 25-6.
Second half, 41 min: Back into action in Dunedin and Dagg's still burning hot after his great first half. He bursts through another hole and finds Dixon on the wing. He's being closed down and attempts to pass the ball inside, but it's battered down by Webb and the chance is gone. For a second it looked like the hometown boy on debut was about to gas his way to the line, but Wales reeled him in pretty quickly.

HALF TIME: The All Blacks go into the sheds with a deserved 18-6 halftime lead. Dagg and Ben Smith have been on fire from the back and the Welsh look terrified.
39 min: CHANCE! The Welsh end the first half camped out on the All Blacks try line. We're talking tents and a camp fire they've been there that long. Rhys Webb picks it up from the ruck and goes closest, but the All Blacks hang tough. Big chance to score, but Wales just can't seem to get over that last foot.

34 min: TRY ALL BLACKS! Moala is over from close range! The All Blacks counter attack is on fire as Israel Dagg gets the ball rolling, and after passes go left to right and back again, the All Blacks momentum shows and the center finishes it off after Dagg was dragged down a foot from the line. 18-6.
30 min: CHANCE! Ben Smith's really in the mood tonight and he kick-starts a move with a chip down the wing. It takes an odd bounce away from two Welsh players and falls to Dagg. He bumps off a player, before spreading the ball to the other Smith and the All Blacks have numbers to the right! George Moala goes himself, but Liam Williams drags him down and the ball spurts out as the two fall over the line. It goes up to the TMO, and after a long chinwag, it's been ruled Moala's knocked it on. Fantastic effort by Williams to stop a try that looked on for all money.
27 min: Barrett lands his second penalty of the night and the All Blacks are up 11-6 quickly wiping away Wales' good start.

23 min: TRY ALL BLACKS! Ben Smith is over in the corner! Aaron Smith with a ripper of a pass to his fellow Highlander who dives over in the corner in the tackle. The referee wants to check upstairs, and he's grounded the ball almost simultaneously with his knee going over the sideline. The TMO says give it, and despite the referees concerns, he awards the try to the local lad. Barrett misses the kick and it's 8-6.
19 min: CHANCE! Barrett puts the hammer down, throws a goose step, then puts Ben Smith in the clear. He puts the foot down and Wales scramble to bring him down with a couple of men...he's over the line, but well held up. Wales fullback Rhys Patchell did enough to wrap him up and roll him on his back.
18 min: Well that didn't last long. Dane Coles impends a Wales chaser from the restart and he penalised. Biggar kicks Wales back into a 6-3 lead.
16 min: The Welsh are pinged for being offside and Barrett will have a gimmie penalty to get him and the All Blacks on the board. No mistake and it's 3-3.
13 min: First chance for the All Blacks, Barrett shows the ball and then spies a gap. The crowd rise in excitement, but Welsh hooker Ken Owens does enough to scrag him down and end any chance. The ball's recycled and goes out to Brodie Retallick, who wasn't expecting it and the ball is knocked out. That's Barrett's first sniff to show his playmaking running game, but Owen was up to it with a very important tackle.
10 min: Are you England in disguise? The Welsh are looking like their Brexit neighbours and have been all over the All Blacks in the early running. The men in black have barely had any of the ball in possession. Wales haven't been afraid to keep ball in hand and push things wide.
6 min: Biggar lines it up, goes through his unusual pre-kick twitching action, and kicks the penalty with ease. Wales lead 3-0.
4 min: Wales digging in and going for it? They win a penalty about 45m out from goal, but wave away the shot at goal and kick for the lineout. Getting stuck in early, that's what we like to see. The lineout is won, but Sam Cane gets caught lying on the ball and this time Wales will line up a penalty from about 20m out.

1 min: An early mistake for the All Blacks as both Julian Savea and Israel Dagg go to catch a kick and the winger knocks the ball on. It's your basic unforced error, but to be fair to Savea, Dagg's sketching looking moustache is enough to put anyone off.
KICK-OFF: Barrett gets us underway in Dunedin!
19:33 - Beauden Barrett gets a rare start tonight in the No.10 jersey, in fact it's only his 7th start at first five-eighth. He's in good company, Aaron Smith, who is leading the Haka, has been his halfback for all of his previous starts. He'll no doubt get a good crack, but I'm sure local hero Lima Sopoaga will be called on close to the hour mark.
(Photosport)
19:27 - A packed stadium of over 29,000 welcome the two sides onto the field. The feeling is we should see plenty of points tonight with conditions perfect under the roof. It's been a great series for the All Blacks and you've got to expect them to sweep the Welsh home without a win on New Zealand soil.
19:22 - DIXON'S SHOUT FOR THIRD TEST
Elliot Dixon is over the moon to be making his All Blacks debut, but it's come with a costly price considering the match is being played in front of his family and friends.
Expect one section of the crowd to be extra loud when Dixon's on the ball.
19:16 - LAST CHANCE TO GET UP FOR THE WELSH
Plenty of the chat around this Test series has been Wales playing for the full 80 minutes. After looking fantastic in the opening hour of the first Test in Auckland, the Welsh have been found out late in games. Can they finish on a high? Wales' season, which started last June, comes to an end after tonight's game, while the All Blacks are just beginning to warm up for the season.
19:13 - DUNNER STUNNER
We might be under the roof, but either way Dunedin has put on a great, clear night for some Test rugby. Forsyth Barr Stadium is looking a picture and the atmosphere is chirping.

19:09 - DEBUTING SQUIRE BUYS ALL BLACKS JERSEY?
Liam Squire, who will make his debut coming off the bench, was spotted buying an All Blacks jersey on the eve of the Test.
Thankfully the jersey was for a mate and not the one he'll be wearing tonight, but not knowing the perks of being an All Black, the loose forward picked one off the rack and lined up with wallet at the ready.
The game will kick off at around 7:35 (NZT). In the meantime, check out the video above the Crooked Feed team preview the game.

Who has the most to gain in tonight's Test?
By John Day
It's a big day for All Blacks newbie Elliot Dixon and the two other debutants-in-waiting Liam Squire and Ofa Tu'ungafasi when they run out against Wales tonight, but they're not the ones with the most to gain.
No matter how well Dixon plays on his home track of Forsyth Barr Stadium, Jerome Kaino will be wearing the number six jersey against the Wallabies in the opening game of the Rugby Championship in Sydney on August 20th.
It's the same story for Squire and Tu'ungafasi with Ardie Savea and Charlie Faumuina seemingly having the bench spots on lock-down behind Sam Cane and Owen Franks respectively.
So while the pressure's slightly off the new kids on the block, it's well and truly on for returning winger Julian Savea.
The selectors have given Savea the benefit of the doubt because of his remarkable track record, but the 42-Test try-scoring phenomenon has been a shadow of his devastating self this season, both for the All Blacks and Hurricanes.
Another ordinary performance on Saturday and Savea could find himself out of a job when it comes to the Rugby Championship with an in-form Israel Dagg, ever-reliable Ben Smith, and explosive Waisake Naholo forming the back three.
Savea's place is also under threat from Chiefs winger James Lowe who's been knocking on the door on an All Blacks call-up for a couple of seasons now and has shown in the midweek thrashing of Wales that he’s hungry and ready to play at the next level.
George Moala also has plenty to gain in his first start at centre in just his second Test match.
The Blues utility back impressed on the wing against Samoa in Apia last year, but appeared to go off the boil in Super Rugby before being included in the All Blacks as injury cover for Charlie Ngatai.
With Ryan Crotty and Malakai Fekitoa yet to gel, and Seta Tamanivalu seemingly not impressing the selectors in his two outings, there are midfield spots up for grabs both in the starting team and on the bench for the Tests ahead.
This week's first five-eighths will also be desperate to dispel the assumptions that have pigeon-holed Beauden Barrett as an impact player only, and Lima Sopoaga as a player that can just start and not do a job from the reserves.
There are certainly some interesting individual plot lines to follow heading into the final Test before the really big games ahead in the Rugby Championship.
