On 5live they said he thinks Yarde's defensive work is better than Jack Nowell's....
Is that true or not? |

He played pretty well against New Zealand on the last tour and I think he sees him as a good winger on hard pitches.
I know Quins just had a poor season, but Yarde does well when on England duty. |

What a first half in Auckland, two tries each and Wales have a five metre attacking scrum and the lead 15-18 with 39mins gone.

15-18 at half time to Walesand both teams going for it in attack. NZ pace with the ball in hand has looked sublime at times but we are forcing them into errors and had some great turnovers and scored two fine tries.

Wales have created a few chances Liam Williams looking good and Jamie , George and Amos up to their usual standard.
![]() Another 40 minutes of this will be something to see, hopefully Barnes is wise to the New Zealand tricks. |

Great tackle from Webb stops a NZ try but it's back for a pen advantage earlier in the play and they level it up 18-18
49 minutes played. |

Amos is looking poor in defence. Alun Wyn Jones off, maybe just for a head injury assessment and Jake Ball is on.
Amusing to see New Zealand forced back into playing Rugby again and not their version.

We're defending well here. I don't even want to think about potential results though as it's been 53 years

I love the $ky stat captions. The very second they flash one up patting ourselves on the back for winning our lineouts we lose one. Classic.

Gatland takes off three of our better players when there's 15 minutes left and we're still in with a shout

Try for Kieran Reed and game over.
Gatland is a fool for making those substitutions. |

Poor decision to disallow that try for a forward pass

I didnt like the late tacke by the New Zealand forward. I thought Barnes might be wise to their stuff.
A ten point lead has freed up the New Zealand side. |

Frustrating stuff. Score doesnt show what a tough game this was for New Zealand.

Ball dropped in front of the line and the counter attack has a NZ attacking scrum in Wales 22.
Hooter has gone. Decent display from Wales but NZ's greater number of ball carriers has made the difference. Plus Gatland made too many subs at once which might not have made a difference to the result but probably affected our defensive line and the margin of score. Lat minute NZ try and con to make the final result 39-21 |

Good defence and turnover from England after a fast start from Aus.
Wallabies look ready to wind up Hartley. |

Opening try for Australia through Hooper. Deserved as they've had pretty much all the possession.
10 minutes in and it's a much bigger test than any England have had under the new coach so far Con is missed 5-0, 11minutes. |

2nd try for Aus and the saving grace for England is that both cons have been missed.
England waking up a bit now 10-0 20minutes. |

More Claret on show than a wine tasting in Bordeaux in this match so far. Forwards are brutal on both sides.
Good England pressure results in a pen from Farrell 10-3 21 minutes. |
