Carter booted five penalties and converted tries by centre Ma'a Nonu and flanker Jerome Kaino to leave New Zealand needing victory over England next Saturday to complete a successful grand slam tour.

Wales led 9-6 at half-time thanks to three Stephen Jones penalties - but they remain without a win against the All Blacks since 1953.

Wales boss Warren Gatland had urged the importance of a good start after Wales conceded 10 early points to South Africa a fortnight ago, and his players certainly came up trumps.

Stephen Jones kicked an early penalty and Wales doubled their lead on 14 minutes through a second Jones strike, and Gatland could have absolutely no complaints about his team's composure.

New Zealand cut the deficit when Carter booted an easy 17th-minute penalty, but he then failed to punish Wales hooker Matthew Rees' indiscipline when an angled penalty attempt hit the post.

The unflappable Jones completed his penalty hat-trick after 23 minutes, giving New Zealand more food for thought, and Wales continued to play impressive front-foot rugby.

Carter kicked a second penalty just before the break but Wales were unable to start the second period with similar authority though, and Carter's third successful penalty made it 9-9.

The All Blacks struck with two Wales players down injured, as slick passing resulted in a try for Nonu that Carter converted.

Carter increased New Zealand's advantage to 10 points following a Gethin Jenkins scrum infringement, and the final quarter was all about Wales not imploding. Carter booted his fifth penalty as full-time approached, then converted an injury-time effort by Kaino, and Wales could not wait to exit stage right.
