The game was genuinely in the balance for 68 minutes and then wham, wham - two quick tries and the All Blacks were looking at a long and glorious summer. They had to dig deep to get home. They were rattled for much of the game. Their basic skills were all over the shop at times and they bordered on frantic.

All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick has been crowned World Rugby Player of the Year for 2014. Retallick, who played in New Zealand's 34-16 victory over Wales this morning, became the fourth player from his country to win the award presented to him in Cardiff after the clash at Millennium Stadium. The 23-year-old, who has played 35 Tests for New Zealand since making his debut against Ireland in June 2012, has thrived in the All Blacks' pack and follows in the footsteps of teammates Kieran Read (2013), Dan Carter (2005 and 2012) and Richie McCaw (2006, 2009 and 2010).

The game was genuinely in the balance for 68 minutes and then wham, wham - two quick tries and the All Blacks were looking at a long and glorious summer.

Ten years after his first test as All Blacks captain, a match against Wales at the Millennium Stadium which almost finished in defeat for his team, Richie McCaw - older, and a whole lot wiser - will play his 100th as skipper against the same opposition and at the same venue.
