    Willie Lose should stop talking up Koroi. He does good things, but also stuffs things up. He's not better than the rest.

    @98blueandgold Yes, the refs have been missing a few high shots and other offending. Not sure that "tackling below the nipple line" has been followed.

    Riedlinger-Kapa has replaced Tucker.

    Try Akau'ola-Laula! Diving over after a good scrum close to Japan's try line.

    Trask converts: 50 - 0 to NZ after 53 minutes.

    Scott Gregory has come on for Koroi; Plummer replaces Proctor.

    Awesome try from Spowart, after a great pass from - I think - Plummer?

    Try converted. 57 - 0 after 60 minutes.

    More replacements coming up.

    Another try by Spowart, but after great work from Faingaanuku and Christie. Trask can't convert: 62 - 0 NZ after 61 minutes.

    Asi, Cobb, Tremain and Renton have come on the field.

    Try Trask after a kick-through from Sullivan? TMO checking the grounding.

    Just saw some stats on screen. I forgot the number, but NZ has made far too many handling errors.

    Injury to Akau'ola-Laula, who's limping off. Not sure who's replaced him. The reserve lock was already on the field.

    I hope there's another NZ commentator in France. Lose is annoying as usual.

    I've lost count of the number of times that Lose has used the words "real estate". Geezus.

    It looks like Akau'ola-Laula hasn't been replaced. 7 Kiwis in the scrum.

    Spowart butchers an almost certain try after a great kick from Trask. Mistakes are slipping in. 4 minutes to go.

    Hat-trick Spowart, who benefits from a Japanese mistake (ball charged down after a bad kick). Trask can't convert.

    Full time: NZ 67 - 0 Japan

    Too easy. But still a lot of work-ons for NZ.

    Fantastic work from the starting backline. Roe has an amazing skill-set that sparks so many opportunities. Back 3 look very useful Not quite so good from the forwards or the subs. But, Christie and Tucker looked pretty good. One expects a reinforced pack for the tougher games.
