That's game, set and match there. Might be a few more tries from either team but Wales are a beaten side now.

Wow that try was a thing of beauty....after Crotty's horror kick!

Nice couple of consolation tries though, the Welsh showed spirit to hang in so well after falling so far behind. The AB's still seem a bit disorganised and unsettled to me, no doubt a third test will sort that out before the Bledisloe!

Wales cannot be faulted for effort, that was top-notch, but they should be for sheer one-dimensionality.
I know, that's not really a word.
But really, after all this time, the attack is so predictable.
Not sure how Naholo finished the match. Clumsy challenge in the air then a plain old late shoulder-charge later. He's obviously a dangerous player with heaps of potential, but not the finished product yet.

Some of it must be strategy, some must also be selection. Jamie Roberts is a quality player, but when you've got Scott Williams as an option at 12, surely that's a no brainer,

Third quarter again key, three tries conceded plus the failed Warburton/ Faletau breakout, 10-10 to 10-29 & pretty much game over. I reckon the Barrett try after Williams (?) got held up 5m out broke Wales. That said, how good could Williams be? He's like JPR without the rhododendron sideburns :)

I'd like to see Dr Jaw rested for game three and Scott given a start. Forwards played well but hats off to New Zealand for the way they produce 10 minutes of unstoppable attack when they need to.

Even if Faletau had taken the pass he wasn't going to score.

Not entirely rooting NZ's breakdown work for first 50, seemed a bit prone to pilferage while offering nothing themselves there. Poor old young Cane, Mcawe finally buggers off, Cane's read all about his grooming for future AB captaincy... and then hello half the country's chanting Ardie's name.

Marty Hollah could probably give him some advice for coping with that :)

I think if you look more carefully Cementball has changed. If we were one dimensional there isn't a word for the Australians
