Wales v New Zealand | Match Report

While Wales have showed some promise they were ultimately out played in the final 20 minutes as the All Blacks ran away with the game.

New Zealand got off to a great start with a patient but early try would have sent the heart in the mouth's of the home fans only for Wales to mount a comeback and get back in the game. Tom Rogers scored a hat trick, the first by a Welsh player against the All Blacks, as the hosts exploited the New Zealand lack of aerial control.

Wales trailed by 10 at the break and from there they suffered two consecutive yellow cards, one to Thomas on 57 minutes and the other to Plumtree at 66 minutes, and that ultimately was the straw that broke the camels back.
