Admittedly, I ended up only watching the second half of this game (I needed a little extra time after the England atrocity before I could bear to watch rugby again). However, I thought Wales just lacked a bit of confidence and did show on occasions that they could use the ball to cause NZ problems. I was a bit bemused as to why they kicked away so much possession. As for New Zealand, well they weren't at their best, but I still saw more than enough to want to go in to hiding around 2.30pm next Saturday!
