@Darren said in Wales v All Blacks:

Kirifi is just ok, but shouldn't be selected again. Another stupid decision by Razor.
Parker is worse though.

A lot of people, and rightly so, said Kirifi should get a look in after his super rugby season. He was pretty good. He (rather predictably in hindsight) didn't have the skills to make an impact in the international game.

Parker was the form 6 in super rugby (amongst pretty slim picking).

Neither were terrible decisions, they've just been disappointing

Kirifi's selection for the EOYT was stupid. It was fair enough to pick him for the RC as he had a good SR, but the selectors should have seen how little impact he had in the RC and not persisted with him.

Bob Deans will be avenged. Again!!!!!

Mr Fish

Wales chasing 25 points, their highest ever score against NZ.

Edit: In Cardiff. Wales scored 37 at the 2003 RWC (and what a game that was).

Hope Mike the Snow found some kissable foreigners in that bar.

Can't even defend against 14 men..

LRZ looks like he scored in the corner. Great finish to be fair.

This is the worst All Blacks team I've seen in my 22 years of watching the Sport

Tordah

This must be some system with coming to the inside and leaving the wing unmarked. What shit defence

Can’t believe we’ve let Wales score 4 tries hahaha

sparky

@Grooter I think we were probably worse in 1998 but this is certainly one of the worst ABs team since I started watching them in the mid-1980s

Letting this dogshit Welsh side score 4 tries is embarrassing. They wouldn't even beat the Highlanders.

sparky

Caleb Clarke in for a double.

jimmyb

Fun fact, Wales scored more points against the ABs then they managed against Japan

sparky

Wales 26 New Zealand 50.

How nice is it to have that beautiful quick wide pass from our 10 to actually let our outsides play

Damian nails another

sparky

Kick gone.

26-52. Two minutes to go.

@upthelanders Could have used an ace goalkicker the last 10 years

I’m getting sick of watching Reiko pass 😉

sparky

LRZ with another great break.

sparky

Wales might crack 30 points here.

sparky

All over.

Bye, bye Scott Hansen. You've been shit.

Insane the players we stuck with for 90% of the tour

Hopefully they let Sevu kick it out at the end as a sign it's over for him

KiwiMurph

Thank fuck that season is over

Jailbreak7

Where is Macca when you need him

Simon Parker has to be player of the match after that masterclass

Jet

We have conceded 20+ points in 12 games under Razor so far.

We have conceded 30+ 5 times under Razor.

We conceded 40+ once under Razor.

jimmyb

4 tries, 8 line breaks, 161 post contact metres with only 77 carries. Piss weak

Is this in Wales? They scored near 40 in 2003.

Edit: updated your comment

Some will try and roll this last match in glitter and talk up the 2025 ABs now....

booboo

Happy with that.

Score slightly flattering to Wales.

Doesn't change the overall rating for the year.

But will take that (TMO notwithstanding).

Jet

Very disappointed with the Allblacks.

Very disappointed with Rugby in general.

The sport is in a sorry state.
