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 😉

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

Where is Macca when you need him

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

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.

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

@Mr-Fish said in Wales v All Blacks:

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).

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.

A good performance according to Jeff Wilson and Mils.

sparky

DMac and Caleb Clarke the pick of the ABs IMHO.

These assholes are almost as, if not more culpable than Razor and co.

They are enabling if not endorsing this absolute shit show.

Adequate going forward, dog shit in defence.

Clarkes defence was exposed on several occasions. His running game was superb though.

One amateur era player and the guy who got replaced by Dagg cause he can't catch a high ball? Lucky we have those two rugby geniuses on our TVs

I said after the lions 2017 farce I partially fell out of love with the sport.

After the first 10 mins of the second half, the completion is nearly there.

If you can’t celebrate a try until the ball is kicked off to restart the match, how can you generate any excitement.

Game is lost.

@KiwiMurph LRZ is one of the few shining lights in this current Wales squad. Has tremendous feet and balance.

@MajorPom Have you seen what TMOs (called VAR) have done to soccer recently? It's even worse in that code.

Bro, Wilson was an AB legend. One of our greatest ever wingers. Terrible pundit however.

Victor Meldrew

@kpkanz said in Wales v All Blacks:

Christie is complete trash

He's a 5th string choice at best. Good thing is he actually tries his guts out unlike some we could mention.

sparky

@ACT-Crusader Doesn't looking too shabby for a guy who has been spending most of the last couple of years trying to crack the big time in the NFL.

MajorStokes

On the match itself, fairly expected. Wales jumpy and excited but not good enough to win over 80. LRZ brilliant.

We had an eye on summer already and it showed.

Norwegian Football league club teams and fans voted to get rid of VAR.
The national union over ruled them.

This is not what sport is supposed to be about.
