Steve Hansen’s men take on a nation that has never won a match at the tournament. Namibia, the lowest-ranked team in the tournament with a number of amateurs in their ranks, have so far lost 47-22 to Italy and 57-3 to South Africa. Follow all the live action below:

21 mins: What a score that is! Attacking right to left, Savea links well with Anton Lienert-Brown inside him, releasing the centre to beat two men in Tromp and Venter with a mazy run and cross for New Zealand's second. Barrett misses the conversion once again, with Stevens nearly getting the charge-down in the process.

25 mins: Cane is penalised for offside and it hands Namibia another penalty on the 10m line, and after a short deliberation Stevens will kick for goal.

26 mins: Straight through a posts, a lovely kick! 10-6

28 mins: Klim makes a lovely break down the right touchline and New Zealand are for the second time looking stretched, with the loose ball hacked into touch by the All Blacks. It gives Namibia a lineout on the 22 and a great chance to attack.

29 mins: Yet again, New Zealand infringe at the breakdown, with Moody this time the guilty culprit for not rolling away. Stevens will go for goal once again.

30 mins: Stevens kicks his third penalty of the day and the lead is cut to one! 10-9

31 mins: Laulala might be in trouble here. He's caught Klim on the way down with an arm to the head, and after a TMO review referee Pascal Gauzere decides it's worthy of a yellow card. I think he's got that one right to be fair, as Klim was on the way down.

Perhaps bigger news though is that Brodie Retallick has been forced off with injury, and that could be a major blow for New Zealand. Patrick Tuipolotu is on in his place.

35 mins: Interestingly, Sam Cane is the man to be sacrificed for Angus Ta'avao to come on at prop, but the All Blacks aren't playing like a team down to 14 men...

TRY FOR NEW ZEALAND!

35 mins: New Zealand go to basic one-out rugby, and boy is it effective as after a couple of strong carries, Angus Ta'avao dives over between the uprights. Barrett finally kicks his first conversion, and New Zealand extend the lead. 17-9
