This series is going to be better than I thought.

 

[Thingimubob]

Dan Biggar. Take a bow.

 

[Tony Manx]

Chances on New Zealand blaming Wayne Barnes if they lose?

Haha! Thought they started after 50 seconds! Crudeness is to blame! How many kicks?

 

[Tony Manx]

This series is going to be better than I thought.

Think Wales have to win this one to make the series competitive. aBs surely can not be so disorganized in defence and make as many mistakes for the rest of the season?

 

[Thingimubob]

Ha no that was me! We're not big fans of him here either

Ken Owens and Geth leading the work rate!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Looks a try to me.

 

[Thingimubob]

Jesus that's a cheap try.

Ha once again looking like we fade at 60mins+ - We HAVE to respond immediately or it's over.

They shouldn't, but we might get an idea of just how much organising and calming was being done by McCaw, Nonu and Smith in all of that incredible run.

That said - NZ back in the lead.

 

[austingtir]

Ardie Savea looks the goods as soon as he came on. Cane is way overrated imo.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Anscombe to come on and score the winning try for Wales

 

[Bluemoon]

There's the difference for me. In the red zone - NZ try

 

[unrated]

Gethin Jenkins ! What a player. Making a tackle on cruden then running over to the sideline to tackle naholo .

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Just got back from work experience, was expecting to turn the TV on and Wales be in the coffin but wow they've held their own. Would love to see a Wales win here.

 

[AzaMatt]

I'm worried with anscombe at full back now, Liam Williams has been involved in most of our attacks and solid in defence

 

[Tony Manx]

Game set and match!! Mind you not if the Welsh are allowed to be 5 yards ahead of the kick off!!

 

[AzaMatt]

Just as I said it, missed tackle by anscombe! Lol

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Kieran Read, what a try. Didn't see who the (attempted) tackler was, but Read made it look like he just wasn't there.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wales in the top 3 of 60 minute teams.

 

[Thingimubob]

Ych. What is the point of Anscombe at fullback? He's not a great defender, and he's so much more useful on the ball from 10.

 

[Bluemoon]

Urgh. Pointless 12 minutes now. Wonder if Wales might do something different than the kick chase.
