It took the All Blacks 60 minutes to break Wales in Auckland and just 50 in Wellington. That has to be considered progress.
The two late tries Wales scored tonight will have given them some hope heading to Dunedin because, for a 30-minute period in the second half, it was a little worrying as to what debris Wales would be able to piece together and stick out for the last test.
What will have alarmed them is that were hanging in just fine until 10 minutes after halftime and then they were hit by a black tidal wave that swept them away. The All Blacks, who had been a bit loose and frantic, clicked. In the space of three minutes came two tries and a side that had been a patchy and jittery, were suddenly flowing.
The Welsh defence, quite spick and span for the first half, was in chaos. They couldn't understand why there were All Blacks pouring through. Space, which had been at a premium, was opening up all around them and they were chasing shadows - not even that at times.
