Wales 2 tries - New Zealand 3 tries

Not so bad when you put it that way! Also if Halfpenny had gone for goal early on and not missed his conversions it would have been 20 points to Wales.

I still feel Phillips and Priestland made monumental errors in leading up to all of the NZ tries.

I don't actually feel so bad now and the 56 man lineout really made my day

uuuuuuhhhm, maybe, but hapeney wasn't on form 2night......

Careful now - dangerously close to a 'moral victory' (by a brave/plucky side). I always find the most useful way of looking at a result is the scoreboard.

True, lets not try to put any kind of gloss on the AI's for Wales so far. We have been poopie with a capital P. And unless we pull our finger out we're on for a 6N whitewash. Ok maybe we'll be at Scotland..........

beat even. Christ, red wine.........

Embarrassing post. Not nearly as bad as anything awop posts if it is any consolation.

Yeah there were positives from this performance, but I feel these were far out weighed by the poor mistakes at crucial times, the missed tackles and poor decision making - leading to an inability to ruthlessly take points when on offer (which the AB's did to great effect, and I assume Oz could well do next week).

We could say that IF Hore had been red carded, and IF Halfpenny had taken the kicking options AND scored, then MAYBE it would have been a lot closer - but at the end of the day we made too many mistakes at crucial times, and we got what I expected - a much better performance but never really good enough for the win.

* though I am still incensed with the ref...

The thing that everyone in the NH has to realise is that the ABs played for about 30mins and after that just sat on their lead. When they wanted to, they went and scored some tries, they also stopped Wales scoring any when the came was still close.

They are streets ahead of all of the home nation team.

Two tries to three, two decent tries by Wales, but consider they were never in this game.

Afraid I have to agree with Biltong.

Scotland got 3 tries on the board against the Blackness but conceded 6.

Albeit none of them was as well worked as the Welsh scores.
