Yes, so strong just flipped him like a feather. Maybe not intentional (to hurt) but certainly was a fraction late.

Wales were stretched there.

Think we're on a warning for a yellow now too.

by maestegmafia Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:30 pm

Welsh defence has been great under wave after wave of AB phase attack... Finally another penalty is conceded, poss yellow card offence says the unbiased kiwi commentator.

I hope Allen shows this level of skill for the Blues next season. He needs to replace Casey!

What are the weather conditions like out there today?

by maestegmafia Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:36 pm

Kiwi backline playing great running rugby... ball is moving around the field like a fly in a jar.

great defence by wales in all positions...

eventually we get a penalty. Morgan steps up, clears to touch but not as far as we would like.

Welsh centres are fantastic in attack and defence

Yes Wales need composure they look rattled

NZ Loosey is boaring in. Samson needs to deal with it.

by Guest Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:40 pm

Guess that was coming....

6-11 6-13

Pressure tells in the end after sustained pressure from the BBs

He not boring in he cant even engage correctly, look how much the kiwi loose heads back is bent in the scrums, he's getting smashed by Lee.

by Guest Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:43 pm

Grubbers and chips to get passed us... Good game so far

Scrum was wheeled & Wales lost control after NZ got a further nudge on.

by Guest Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:43 pm

that try was coming really, can't argue with that too much.

6-13 at HT, fair reflection I would say. We need to keep our hands on the ball a bit more 2nd half. Tackling wise and at the breakdown I don't think we've too much to fear from NZ at all.

Looks to me like hes trying to go in at an angle. Although the res on my stream isnt very good so you could well be right.

As a Blues fan, its brilliant to see Allen having such a stormer at 13. He will have no problems replacing Evans if he can play like this regionally at 13 if that is where he is being developed.

Wales did well for the first 10 minutes, but NZ have dominated the last 15 and the try was inevitable.

Hopefully Wales come back stronger in the second half - there still only 7 behind.

Need more scrums (that last one was a joke, should have been a Welsh penalty)

This is very true. With every scrum against Lee the baby black looseheads dream of a franchise contract is being busted up. Have we found our successor to Adam or is the all black loosehead just really really poor at scrummaging. Maybe a bit of both.

Ref has missed a few early shoves by the ABs... We have them in the scrum and we are looking very good in the line out too. Defence is solid but I agree with RD. Lets see them hold on to the ball a bit more and play a patient phase game...

Sampson Lee has been superb all tournament.. Will be interesting if Wales win this to see how he goes against a non Pacific Islander.

The guys he's been up against have been heavy but not talented.

by Guest Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:51 pm

the ref is....shall we say there's been some questionable decisions? but I think he's let our offside backline go quite often, so I shan't complaint too much Wink

I agree but this New Zealand loose head is 6'4" and 19 stone 10 lbs, but it means nothing, he cant line up on Sampson as he is too short, he is basically going over the top of Sampson inb the scrums, and Sampson is not breaking any rules his waist is level with his shoulders. Sampson is just much shorter and is getting under their guy and bending him.

by **Pal Joey** Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:54 pm

Great try NZ. clap

by Guest Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:55 pm

balls. that was a very good try for NZ. Just what we didn't want to happen at the start of the 2nd half.

by Guest Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:55 pm

Can't argue with that one.... some poor tackling though?

by Shifty Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:56 pm

no harm in putting a tackle in there Wales? Headscratch

Dear god that small kiwi back was made to look like Lomu then!

by maestegmafia Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:57 pm

Good start by NZ

Try poor defence Wales

20- 6

wales back on the attack through jones and Walker

head clash game stopped two kiwis out cold... Proctor and Ross

by Shifty Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:57 pm

2 kiwis, one side step... Whistle

by Guest Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:57 pm

oooof horrible clash of heads from the two NZ defenders. Well done the ref for stopping play.

by **Pal Joey** Sun 17 Jun 2012, 4:59 pm

Jones reminded me a little of Shane Williams the way he cut inside there and that running style. Fleet of foot!

by welshy6 Sun 17 Jun 2012, 5:00 pm

great try, AB 13 looks dangerous
