Carter masterminds NZ win over Wales

AAP - November 8, 2009, 6:27 am

New Zealand extended their crushing rugby dominance of Wales with a hard-fought 19-12 win on Saturday to stretch their winning streak to 21 games dating back 56 years.

The All Blacks bade their time in a match where defence ruled to score 10 points in a purple patch in the second-half when they deprived Wales of any real possession or territory.

Man-of-the-match Dan Carter masterminded the All Blacks in both defence and attack, kicking four penalties and a conversion to hooker Andrew Hore's sole try of the game, with Stephen Jones knocking over four penalties for the home side.

The victory means that in 104 years of fixtures, New Zealand have now won 22 of the 25 meetings, the last Wales win coming in 1953.
