How bad will the loss to NZ be?
Can the All Blacks put 100 on Wales?
60+ on Ireland and when you look at Wales' current state it makes it quite plausible that they could score 100 or more points next Saturday.
I worry this will eclipse our record defeat of 96-13

Wales doesn't play cricket, do they?

Bit more of Samoa in Savea (though born in Wellington of course) next week who has 8 tries from six matches. He could add to that tally certainly.

I think it'll be more like the second test, NZ have shown that they're human and can be complacent, while Wales have to have at least one good game in them.
NZ will win but Wales will make it bloody tough.

I was thinking the same Yappysnap but its the rest that helps NZ here.
After watching Italy and not being on the field the guys will be snapping to get out there. Thats one of the positives about having almost two sides good enough to play at this level.
We last did this in 2004 or 5 and both sides came out and played to the same standard, something tonights side will be aiming for against Italy- they wont wont to be labelled a 'second' side.

Didn't see the game this morning, but by all accounts, wales appear to be there for the taking
Now why the heck isn't Gatland stepping in? I know he's got time off for the Lions and had that accident, but shouldn't he be getting right back in there to steady the ship?

The pressure is off Wales. No one will expect them to win. They might just go out and play for pride, and lose to NZ by a respectable 20 points.

No comparison with Ireland third test. End of season match for Ireland, Wales are fresher.
NZ aren't that good. Wales can improve. Gatland back on board will help.

Perhaps Wales should try the 4 flyhalves in the back division strategy that they used with great success V England at Twickenham in 1988 when Wales won that match easily despite many people thinking that England were the favourites to win going into the match.

Its not the sort of test for a 60 point win. The surprise factor isnt there. Wales will be in full damage control mode and will spoil at the breakdowns, and so they should. They can't make the mistake of trying to match the ABs or theyll quickly be in the wrong frame of mind where a big score could be posted.
They need to grind, spoil, get in the ABs faces all day.

Re: Can the All Blacks put 100 on Wales?
Surely wales couldnt lose seven games in a row, some free advice for the welsh players, dont even think of looking side ways at Gatty this week. he would not be a nice man to be near at the moment.
